Wow, if there was ever someone in need of grief counseling she's it. That dream bit makes her sound like a really screwed up Kevin Costner. If you freeze it, they will come...

What kind of "mother's instinct" is harvesting sperm from your son's corpse? Not only is that a highly disturbing way of dealing with the loss, but it's not fair to the child or the memory of her son. This woman is using the grandchild as a replacement, and no one should have to be born with that kind of burden. Its life will already be rough enough with the knowledge that it came from the frozen sperm of a long-since dead man without adding that kind of pressure.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
