Sorry for the thread title, I didn't want to write one that would be too long. Here's what happened: In Neubrandenburg, a married couple decided to have egg cells inseminated artificially and have them cryogenically stored just after insemination (that is: The sperm has entered the egg but the chromosomes have not yet combined together).
The Husband died after that process in an motorcycle accident. The clinic which stores the cells announced that the embryonic protection act prohibites them to conduct the dewing and injection of the cells. The wife then wanted to do this in Poland, but the clinic still said that dewing the cells would be forbidden.
The LG Neubrandenburg had the argument that the clinic is right and that additionally it would be a moral problem to tell the child later that his dad had died even before procreation. Today now, the OLG Rostock cancelled this and allowed the wife to receive the egg cells. This decision was also applauded by many MDs and Philsophs.
There is no English article to this yet, but here is a German one: http://www.welt.de/die-welt/vermisc...twe-darf-von-totem-Mann-schwanger-werden.html
