Isn’t this incest?

The story about Ana Obregón using her son’s sperm to bear a child:-

This type of relationship would be a crime in most countries if only for health reasons.

It is messed up though.

She says it was her son's dying wish to have a child from his sperm.
She is raising that child because she will love them & teach them about their bio father.
I am fine about surrogacy. I can't call it messed up. Peculiar, yes.

She certainly looks grotesque to me !
Good to see other countries have their own media freaks though

She's responsible for bringing a child into this world who can never know either of their biological parents or the woman who gave birth to her. And at 68 years old is going to have limited parenting capability. Limited by life expectancy and ability to be actively involved due to her age. Those responsibilities will be farmed out.
I feel for any mother who loses a child but that doesn't justify putting her desires or her son's desires above the wellbeing of a child.
Every element of this contractual process is grotesque and should not have been allowed.

It's not incest but is proper weird.

Surrogacy is not ethical.
Using your dead sons sperms is not ethical
Having a child when you are 68 is not ethical

What on earth is she going to tell the child? Is she going to be mum or grandma?

At least when a man conceives a child at that age the child will have a younger mother. So their father may die but they will have one parent. This child won't have anyone, their parent is already dead before they were even conceived

No. But commissioning a baby in these circumstances is abhorrent imo.

No! She didn't have sex with her child 🙄

Technically, she’s raising her deceased son’s child/her grandchild (it’s not her egg, not her pregnancy). I’m not in the mood to argue the ethics of this. I don’t do battle over grieving parents’ routes back to happiness. Hope it all works out for the child, who is here now and has a life to live.

I'm glad to hear it isn't her egg at least. Some of these wealthy people have been freezing their eggs for decades.

Taking a baby away from its mother is abhorrent. Fourth trimester and all.

It sounds messy but no not incest

Aside from the fact that she is 68, why would a clinic fertilise a mothers egg, with her sons sperm risking the health of the child.

I think it’s obvious it not her egg.

I don’t like surrogacy. However, I don’t think this is incest.

This!
