“Even though Peter did not expressly state that he wanted his sperm to be used for reproductive purposes,” the judge wrote, “should his parents choose to do so in the future, it would not do violence to his memory.”

Jesus Christ this is horrifying precedent. In 2019, a parent has so much control over their child’s bodily autonomy that a judge can grant permission to use their reproductive organs when they are permanently incapacitated.

This is a symptom of a bigger problem, but this is so fucked up.
