The wife of a convicted Cuban spy held in a US jail was hard at work trying to get permission from the US to get a sample of her husbands sperm shipped out to Cuba.

She appealed to sympathetic Senator Patrick Lehey it worked:
“It was a very human thing. It had nothing to do with the politics of the two countries. It was just a family value thing. I mean I feel like a Godfather or something. I have never met her husband, but I have seen pictures since they reunited, the joy on his face, but especially hers.”
