“Something can be born out of everything – if you want it to,” said Iris Haim, whose hostage son Yotam was killed in Gaza. Those words are helping her find hope, as she seeks to use his sperm to have a grandchild.

    “Jews are born from corpse sperm” sounds like some shit that would be too antisemitic for a nazi to say. Like that’s some Russian tsar level antisemitism. Insane country making the sane Jews of the world look bad.

    Haim now faces an uphill battle to get approval to use his sperm to produce a grandchild. If she succeeds, her next challenge would be to find a woman to carry the child and raise it.

    OK, that’s slightly less bad than the headline made it sound, but still

      It’s a decent bit worse than how I read it because I assumed this was on behalf of a daughter-in-law, rather than hey ladies, would you be interested in my deceased son’s semen? You look like the kind of woman who my son would have loved to posthumously impregnate. No, it’s not what it sounds like at all - I already filled out all the paperwork to get the approval! All the legwork is already taken care of! All you need to do is conceive the child and raise it.

      carry the child and raise it

      Not to give her advice but I think she’d have an easier time if she said she wanted an egg donor (so no inbreeding) but would carry the pregnancy herself. And obviously not wanting to raise the grandkid is insane.

        The IDF conscripts women too, so maybe she could find a cadaver whose ovaries are still viable. Why should reproductive necromancy only benefit the patriarchy?

          Yeah I wonder if you can harvest viable eggs from a corpse. I’ve been through egg retrieval myself and it’s a pretty involved process; you have to inject yourself with hormones to stimulate follicle growth and align things with your cycle. Compared to getting sperm which afaik just involves jacking off into a cup.

      seriously, that is 100% how I took it and was dying inside, because purposely high kinship linebreeding to “keep the lineage pure” I’m pretty sure went out of fashion a few millenia ago and I was getting the impression this person saw the antagonists of the X-Files episode “Home” as aspirational.

    I can’t fucking believe western media wrote “harvested sperm” without thinking about how fucking psychotic that sounds. It could be described in so many other ways that make it sound less horrible but they really went for “harvesting” something from a corpse.

        My point is that the western media constantly picks its words very carefully to dehumanise its enemies and frame its allies as moral and upstanding. “Harvesting” is anti regime language with negative connotations in people’s minds when it comes from organ harvesting.

        It’s just surprising that nobody in the western media has realised how fucking freaky they’re making it sound with this language. They usually wouldn’t use language that has a negative vibe for their allies.

          Ah mb, sorry for misunderstanding.

          The journos might honestly find this revolting. Current western culture is extremely prissy about death and funerary stuff. See like genocides over funerary cannibalism and shit :l, all the bonkers laws about specifically how corpse destruction/burial has to happen.

          Medical language is also extremely clinical, you do harvest organs for transplantation etc. Harvesting itself is sort of euphemistic, you butcher the innocent cow you harvest material from the cadaver. Could be that.

          It’s not like milked or secreted sperm sound better haha.

          TBH the anthropology enthusiast in me finds this grotesque and fascinating. What a fucking trip to have your mum looking to objectify a woman so she can have little youlings to grieve over.

    To mitigate these issues, Savitsky believes that young men should be asked whether they would want their sperm to be posthumously retrieved before they enter army service, but said the ministry of defense may be wary of implementing this as it could dent troop morale.
