What are the possibilities when the husband has no seed and no possibility of medical treatment. What of sperm banks. Wouild his brother be able to contribute sperm since he is like a dead person, reproductively speaking?
Thankyou.

It is a very complicated and very sensitive issue. There is a wide range of Halachaic opinions, and I'm writing my 'Shita'.
In principal, it's permitted if there is no other way, to appeal to a sperm bank and get a spam donation. I prefer it will be a gentile's sperm, but there are different opinions about that. It must be done by IVF (If he is a Jew) and not directly to the women's body.
However, it can't be from a relative, Because of the mixture it can cause.
Every specific case should be done after consulting an ordinate Rabbi.
