 In the landmark 2006 Keivan Cohen case, the parents of a 20-year-old soldier killed in action won the right to use the sperm retrieved after his death for posthumous reproduction after proving in court that it was his explicit wish to father children.The case, which was reported in media from around the world, was unique, both because Cohen had not left his wish in writing, and because the woman that would carry his child was not known to him during lifetime.Since then, court attitude in Israel has been changed to require written consent for posthumous reproduction.
