She'll probably end up sleeping with the kid too.

trailer trash

Re: would you girls do this ?

Definitely trailer trash.

Re: would you girls do this ?

what makes her trailer trash? they use technology to their advantage. whether or not the husband conceded the after-death use of his sperm, he had to have had a fairly decent understanding that that's what was going to happen if he did die overseas. imo, i would want my blood to be carried on if i died in a senseless war.

i say hooray for her!

"Brian and I never discussed whether I would have a child if he died," she added.

it's fucking weird, how is she gonna explain it to the kid?
mommy, where to babies come from?
well, your dad jizzed in a cup, then went and got blown up in iraq....

Re: would you girls do this ?

I'm totally with jib on this, just cant figure out some of the responses going trailer trash.... and how ?

If she and her husband loved each other so much that even after he died, she chose to have a part of him recreated with the help of technology, how the heck is that demeaning or in poor judgment ?

I say more power to her if she had the amount of love she has for her late husband to do what she has done and the courage to actually pull it off.

^agreed 100%. It's a little weird to think about, but I don't think there's anything remotely trashy about it. Moreover, from what I gather, very few trailer dwellers could afford artificial insemination. Pretty expensive, isn't it?

"He looks so much like his father, it's kind of scary,"

No shit, Sherlockina.

Was she expecting something else? A thalidomide baby, perhaps?

Re: would you girls do this ?

white trash replies are just jokes ...

she says they went to the sperm bank because she has fertility issues , so, after 2 years of his death she must have though what the hell, right ?
i find it creepy

[beanzncheez]

Re: would you girls do this ?

what makes her trailer trash?

1. her name
2. her husband's name
3. her face
4. the fact that her hubby went to the war

imo, i would want my blood to be carried on if i died in a senseless war.

What makes this war senseless?

Re: would you girls do this ?

I would never do something like that. It would make it next to impossible to move on from the lost love, and the child would be a constant reminder of him. Also, I'd never want to have a kid without someone that could help me raise it.

Re: would you girls do this ?

^^ first girl to reply

this is the kind of input i was looking since the desicion of using the frozen sperm was all her idea , it wasnt planned by the 2 before he died

It's really not your place, or mine, or anyone else's on here to judge that woman so harshly for choices she made that are so deeply personal to her and are intertwined with her relationship she had with her late husband.
