Summary:A 34-year-old quadriplegic man with a C6/C7 spinal cord lesion of 10 years' duration fathered a child with his 35-yearold wife who had undergone a premaave menopause 10 years earlier. Pregnancy was achieved from in-vitro fertilization of two oocytes donated by the wife's sister using spermatozoa from the husband obtained by repeated electro-ejaculation techniques.
