Many Israeli soldiers going to fight in Gaza have been signing biological wills, legal documents allowing family members to use the soldiers’ sperm for fertilization in case of death or severe injury on the battlefield.
Sperm can be taken from the body of the deceased for up to 48 hours after death and can be kept in cooled containers for a long time.
The “New Family” organization is currently in charge of issuing biological wills. Upon request, representatives of the organization meet with soldiers and their family members to start the process.
The organization has reported on a sharp increase in requests since the fighting in Gaza began earlier this month. So far, the organization has issued approximately 500 contracts.
Israel legalized biological wills for all in 2013, and since then, a few babies have been conceived and born after their fathers’ deaths. Before 2013, each case was brought to court and considered individually before permission was given.
The “New Family” organization’s first case involved a soldier who was killed in 2002. After a five-year court case, the soldier’s widow was granted the legal right to use her dead husband’s sperm to conceive children.
