    A mother who lost his 21-year old son find a way to see her son through his offspring. Nikolas Evans, 21 year old guy was punched during a fight on an Austin street early March 27 and then fell to the ground, striking his head. He died April 5. Police are still trying to identify the person who hit him. In the mean time, his mother- Nikolas Colton Evans willing to have a child of his son by harvesting the sperm. Ethicists say raises troubling questions; one called the potential offspring a "replacement child."

    I think she is right to have her son's child through any surrogate mother. What do you think? If you want to study the complete story, please read here...

    Thanks for posting, she sounds like she's in pain tbh. And that's why this is going on. Sad story.

    Its possible her loss means shes not thinking straight at the moment, i personally dont agree with it.

    Death in families can make relatives do or want sudden things which if they give enough time they may realise thats not what they actually want.

    gross, not mention the fact that due to the fact its incest the resulting child will have all sorts of deformities.

    But yeh, as was said this is missing the crucial point that the mother is clearly struggling to come to terms with her sons death (understandable) and probably needs a lot of support right now.

    It is ethical in my book and she should try to get it by any means possible. I'm sure she will get a donor woman too in order to conceive the child artificially.
