(U.S. Military Academy/AP)Months after U.S. Military Academy cadet Peter Zhu died of injuries suffered in a skiing accident — and lost what his parents said was his dream to have children of his own — a judge has ruled that his parents may use his frozen sperm to create a child. “At this time, the Court will place no restrictions on the use to which Peter’s parents may ultimately put their son’s sperm, including its potential for procreative purposes,” the judge wrote in his ruling. Zhu, from Concord, Calif., had expressed a desire to have a family of his own, his parents said. “Our son’s dying wish was to become a father and to bring children into this world,” his parents said.
