Rights of Children Conceived and Born After a Father's Death
'As science races ahead, it leaves in its trail mind-numbing ethical and legal questions. The law, whether statutory or decisional, has been evolving more slowly and cautiously.' Kass v. Kass, 91 N.Y.2d 554 (1998).

Such issues include, but certainly are not limited to: 1) whether this genetic material is susceptible to bequest or gift to a loved one for use at a later date to parent a child; 2) what the status of such afterborn child is; and 3) what rights of inheritance from their biological parents these children have.
