Ohad Ben-Yaakov was only 27 when he died —and now his devastatedparents want to have his baby!

　　Ohad Ben Yaakow离开人世的时候年仅27岁——现在他饱受对儿子思念之苦的父母想给他要个儿子！

　　We don’t know whether this is a touching story or a bizarreone. After their son Ohad died from a work-related accident, Israeli couple Mali and Dudi Ben-Yaakov are petitioningthe Israeli attorney general for the right to impregnatea surrogateof their choosing with his sperm—which they extracted while he was in a coma。

　　我们不知道是该用感人还是奇怪来描述这个故事。在他们的儿子Ohad因为一次工作事故去世之后，Israeli夫妇Mali和Dudi Ben-Yaakov就向以色列司法部长请愿说想用儿子的精子来孕育一个新生命——精子是他们在儿子昏迷不醒的时候采集的。

　　“If we were entitled to donatethe organs of our son why are we not entitled to make use of his sperm in order to bring offspring to the world?” Mali and Dudi asked back。

　　“如果我们有权决定是否将儿子的器官捐献，那么我们为什么就没有权利用他的精液来给这个世界创造新生命呢？”Mali和Dudi反问到。

　　The idea of posthumouschildbearingis an odd idea on its own. But in this case, the fact that it is the grandparents —and not one of the parents – who want to go through with the procedure is even stranger。

　　孕育遗腹子的想法本身就怪异。而在此案例中，这对老人家想要儿子的遗腹子的想法就更怪异了。

　　Ohad wasn’t married, and there were no verbal or written messages left for his parents that describe his having a need to become a father. Did he even want to be a parent? Or was he thinking about it? It sounds like this could be considered a violation of his wishes。

　　Ohad生前没有结婚，也也没有给父母留下只字片语表达自己想要做父亲的愿望。他真的想做爸爸吗？或者他有想过这个问题吗？说不定这种做法还会违背他的意愿。

　　We get that they are trying to fill a void and remember their son’s life. But there are many ways to grieve —this just may not be the right solution。

　　我们也明白这对老夫妇是想通过这种方式弥补他们失去儿子空虚，也是纪念儿子的一种方式。但是表达伤痛的方式很多——给死去儿子要个遗腹子的想法不会是最好的解决方式。
