Israeli Woman –<\/strong> In a remarkable medical case, a 35-year-old Israeli woman, Dr. Hadas Levy, has given birth to a baby boy nearly a year and a half after her partner’s death. While it may seem astonishing, this is a true story made possible by advanced reproductive technology.<\/p>\n On June 11, 2025, Dr. Hadas Levy gave birth to a son. The baby is the child of her fianc\u00e9, Captain Natanel Silberg, who was killed in Gaza in December 2023. The child was conceived using Postmortem Sperm Retrieval (PSR) technology.<\/p>\n What is Postmortem Sperm Retrieval (PSR)?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n PSR is a procedure where sperm is extracted from a deceased male’s body and stored for future use. The partner can use this sperm to conceive at any point in her life.<\/p>\n The process involves:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Crucial Timeframe: Sperm must be retrieved from the deceased within 24 to 36 hours of death. After this window, sperm viability decreases by approximately 2% every hour, making prompt action essential.<\/p>\n The Context in Israel<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Following the Hamas attacks, sperm was retrieved and stored from 250 deceased Israeli soldiers. Of these, the parents of 193 soldiers requested the procedure. Sperm was also retrieved from 21 civilians.<\/p>\n Is Sperm Retrieval Legal?<\/strong><\/p>\n The legality of PSR varies by country:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Israeli Woman – In a remarkable medical case, a 35-year-old Israeli woman, Dr. Hadas Levy, has given birth to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2553,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[229],"tags":[1652,1653,1654,1655,1656,1657],"class_list":["post-33571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world-news","tag-birth","tag-death","tag-gaza","tag-israeli-woman","tag-partner","tag-sperm"],"magazineBlocksPostFeaturedMedia":{"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"colormag-highlighted-post":false,"colormag-featured-post-medium":false,"colormag-featured-post-small":false,"colormag-featured-image":false,"colormag-default-news":false,"colormag-featured-image-large":false},"magazineBlocksPostAuthor":{"name":"admin","avatar":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/18e12f979c7dbcc2096868fc531de295a11443c392b4bb6e60ce343131707eaa?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"magazineBlocksPostCommentsNumber":false,"magazineBlocksPostExcerpt":" Israeli Woman – In a remarkable medical case, a 35-year-old Israeli woman, Dr. Hadas Levy, has given birth to","magazineBlocksPostCategories":["World News"],"magazineBlocksPostViewCount":1,"magazineBlocksPostReadTime":2,"magazine_blocks_featured_image_url":{"full":false,"medium":false,"thumbnail":false},"magazine_blocks_author":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/mediapbn.com\/?author=3"},"magazine_blocks_comment":0,"magazine_blocks_author_image":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/18e12f979c7dbcc2096868fc531de295a11443c392b4bb6e60ce343131707eaa?s=96&d=mm&r=g","magazine_blocks_category":"World News<\/a>","videoUrl":"","yoast_head":"\n\n
