Mother has son's sperm harvested!
People will do just about anything these days.
NBC -- A court in Austin, Texas has approved a mother's wish to have her dead son's sperm harvested so she can grant his wish to have children someday.
Nikolas Colton Evans was just 21 when he was punched and fell outside a bar in Austin.
He slipped into a coma and was placed on life support.
His mother Marissa knows he wanted children badly, and says he'd even picked out three names: Hunter, Tod, and Van.
Now she plans to have his sperm harvested in the hopes she'll be able to find a surrogate to bear a grandchild for her.
Ms. Evans says finding a doctor to collect the specimen was a bit of a challenge, but Dr. Elizabeth Houser of the Austin Urology Clinic agreed.
"I know its controversial I know its gonna be in the media and that ok with me maybe its something that needs to be talked about more frequently," Dr. Houser said.
Missy Evans also donated her son's organs for transplantation.

1. Probably not the people we want reproducing anyway.
Should I, heaven help us, have children, they'll need dullards to manage. My child; the middle manager.
