Sperm from 91 fallen soldiers retrieved, bill to allow use awaiting Knesset approval

The Knesset’s health committee discussed the law on using the sperm of a deceased person, with Wednesday being the 12th session on this topic.

According to the Health Ministry, since October 7, there have been a total of 120 successful sperm preservation cases, of which 110 involved soldiers. The committee also claims that 82 of these cases were carried out at the request of the parents.

Ninety-one of these cases are from the start of the ground operation alone.

The successful extraction and preservation do not necessarily mean that the sperm can be used, however.
