Posthumously Conceived Children Have Inheritance Rights

This article on Yahoo! News is interesting because not only does it affirm that children conceived through artifical means after their father's death have inheritance rights, but it also stipulates that the mother must prove 1) that the dead man is the child's genetic father, and 2) that the dead man had agreed to conceive and support the child prior to his death. Although posthumous conception is a touchy subject, the court's decision in this case sounds fair to me.
