I am dying - Wife wants a baby to remember me by

Diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Doctor gives me tops 1 year to live. We’ve been married for 7 years, no kids. My wife want to get pregnant so she has a child to remember me by when I am gone. I am not sure how I feel. Finances is not a problem for us. Should I say yes?
