Two words: Mental. Illness.

I spoke to a mom of a TIM going for surgery and she looked at me with such sad eyes and said "I finally said it was okay because he was willing to freeze some of his sperm." That's her only child, so her only chance at grandchildren. Man, I'll never forget that sad look in her eyes though. Horrific.

God.... I can imagine her pain. Her only child probably dying before her. This must be an horrifying thought.
