Soldier's case adds to IVF controversy


More fuel has been added to the fire that is the ongoing debate about where to draw the line on human reproduction.

This week, IVF treatment began after an Israeli court ruled that sperm taken from a dead soldier could be used to impregnate a woman he had never met.

Kevin Cohen had not given any explicit consent before his death to have his sperm removed or used in this way. Instead, the initiative came from his family, who said that the 19-year-old had discussed with them his desire to have a family one day.
