WEST POINT, N.Y. — The parents of a 21-year-old West Point cadet fatally injured in a skiing accident raced the clock to get a judge's permission to retrieve his sperm for"the possibility of preserving some piece of our child that might live on."
The parents asked a state court judge Friday for permission to retrieve his sperm before his organs were removed for donation later that day at Westchester Medical Center. They argued the procedure needed to be done that day. The parents told the court that Peter is the only male child of the Zhu family and that if they don't obtain the genetic material,"it will be impossible to carry on our family's lineage, and our family name will die."
