Man banks sperm for IVF after sex change

In a one-of-its-kind case, a youth has banked his semen with a fertility clinic in the city to have his own child from it later after undergoing sex change.
In vitro fertilisation is no longer confined to infertile couples as this technology is now also being used by single men and women, divorcees, single mothers and transgenders, say doctors.
"The latest to go for IVF is a 27-year-old man, who is undergoing a sex change surgery. He has frozen his sperms with us so that he can have a child of his own after the surgery," said Dr Anoop Gupta, director of Delhi IVF and Fertility Clinic.

It's hardly a one-of-a-kind case, I'm sure people have been doing it for ages. In Sweden it would be illegal, though, under the forced sterilisation clause.

I'd take that Dr. Gupta with a grain of salt. Very strange phrasing and wacky logic about marriage and conception. And not only just being a little insensitive about the pronoun, but dropping it every other word.
