Australian Widow Wins Right to Harvest Deceased Husband's Sperm

She intends to use the sperm for IVF via a surrogate, despite posthumous fertilization being illegal in Western Australia.

A 62-year-old Australian woman has won the right to harvest her deceased husband's sperm, with the intention of using it for in-vitro fertilization (IVF) via a surrogate.
The couple had been considering having another child after their two adult children died in separate accidents.
The woman's cousin, who lives in the Philippines, has volunteered to be the surrogate.
Posthumous fertilization is currently illegal in Western Australia, so the woman will need to apply to have the sperm transferred to a jurisdiction where the procedure is allowed.
Experts in reproductive health are divided on the issue of posthumous fertilization, citing potential risks associated with using the sperm of older men.
