Ukrainian soldiers will soon be able to have children from beyond the grave.

Ukraine has passed a law allowing soldiers killed in action to have children posthumously by using their preserved sperm or eggs. The state will pay to store these frozen cells for three years after a male or female soldier's death, with clauses specifying the deceased biological parent on the child's birth certificate. The legislation aims to provide a lifeline for families beyond the grave and protect soldiers' chance to have families.
