A woman has approached the Delhi High Court seeking permission to preserve her husband's sperm, as he has been in a coma since March 2026. Her husband is in a persistent vegetative state and remains on life support. The woman's counsel, Arjit Gaur, emphasized the urgency of the request, noting that delays could lead to the deterioration of the sperm sample. To facilitate this, the petitioner has suggested forming an expert medical board to assess the feasibility and safety of sperm retrieval from her husband. IVF expert Dr. Shivani Sachdev explained that the process involves extracting sperm from the testes and freezing it for long-term storage. However, legal hurdles exist due to regulations requiring mutual consent for sperm use, raising complex ethical issues when one partner cannot provide consent. The case is scheduled for a hearing on April 9, with significant attention on how the court will navigate these sensitive matters.
