Should This Dead Man Reproduce?

Posted by Colleen Kane

 

Hunter Thompson's frozen sperm is likely pickled with Chivas Regal and laced with various illicit substances, not to mention the genetic blueprints for depression tendencies (he did off himself, remember). 

That being said, Hunter's frozen sperm exists, and his widow is 36, still ready and willing to bear his children, as she recently indicated in an interview. But should she?

Cast your vote after the jump.

Should Hunter Thompson's widow make posthumous offspring with his frozen sperm?

I've always thought the idea of using a dead man's frozen sperm was really fucking morbid. "You would have loved your father, son. That is if he hadn't died 5 years before you were born."
