If the son is not around to raise the child it's a bad and selfish idea.

"they would bring up any child born using their son’s semen sample. And in the event of their death, their two daughters have given an undertaking in court that they will take full responsibility for the child."

The sister has even volunteered to be the surrogate. Hopefully it's a gestational surrogacy.

All children face a lottery of people and places to be born to and most of them are disgusting and unfair to the child…

I foresee a future where people obtain genetic samples of their long-dead ancestors and they decide to clone and gestate them in artificial wombs.

Imagine a weird youtube channel that is a combination of urban exploration / it's just a prank bro / DIY science where they break into a crypt to dig up the bones of some historical figure to grow a clone in a vat for clout.

Probably anyone that goes to such lengths to have kids intends to raise them well. The kid will have above average odds of being raised by people that will love him/her.
