BRONX, NY-

Gisela Marrero and Johnny Quintana were in love, engaged, and already had a 2 year old son together. Johnny always made it clear that he wanted another baby and with lifelong plans together it was only natural that eventually they would have that second child.

The only problem was, at the young age of 31, Johnny had a heart attack and tragically passed away, putting a quick and immediate stop to all their longterm plans. That is, all except for one.

Marrero wanted her deceased husband-to-be’s sperm and since they were not yet married she needed a court order. A Bronx judge approved her request and with only four hours left in the ’36 hour window of opportunity after death,’ sperm bank staff members rushed to Jacobi Medical Center, where Quintana’s body lay and extracted his sperm.

I find this a little creepy and bizarre, but at the same time I understand.

The moral of the story: If the judge says OK, go for it.
