Dead men walking

Huh... So, apparently, it has become a thing to harvest the sperm out of the recently deceased men in your life(bbc). In order to fulfill the dead mans wishes, of course.
Lets not consider that when the men wished for children out loud they PROBABLY MEANT THEY WANTED TO BE THERE!!!

One guy made a plan for the future with his fiancee including getting a new apartment and having another child. The next day he drops from a heart attack. Without considering where the new apartment is coming from, this woman decides that his dying wish was to continue pro-creating after his death. (I wonder: If he had a craving for ice cream the night before, would she demand that his corpse be stuffed with Ben and Jerry's?)
The judgment passed to allow her to clean out her dead man's loins just 4 hours before the sperm would have spoiled. Luckily, she had a team of
"sperm bank employees [who] raced to a local medical centre, where the body of the dead mechanic, who died on Thursday, was stored."
Who can afford to have a team of nut scrapers at hand and ready to go? (Maybe she was the one that would be paying for the bigger apartment anyway?)

Another lady, in Texas, decided to harvest her son's sperm after he died in a bar fight. You know to fulfill her, *ahem* I mean HIS wishes to have grandchildren, *ahem* I mean children some day.
Imagine being the girl this creepy Texan courts for the position: Would you be willing to have my dead son's children for me? Though, I bet the woman who says yes will be fairly well-to-do for the rest of her life. (Until the creepy lady excommunicates her from the family altogether and tells her grandchildren about the horrible car accident in which their parents died...)
