British woman gives birth to her own grandson, acting as surrogate mother for her gay son

March 11, 2015 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A British woman has given birth to her own grandson, acting as a surrogate mother for her homosexual son.

Kyle Casson's 46-year-old mother, Anne-Marie Casson, 46, of Doncaster, South Yorkshire, carried a donated egg fertilized with her son's sperm.

The UK's 2008 Human Fertilization and Embryology Act, which governs surrogacy arrangements, generally discourages surrogate mothers from acting on behalf of a single parent. Under the law it is illegal to hand over a child to only the biological father. Instead, the child must be given to a couple "in an enduring family relationship."

However, in this case a judge ruled that while Anne-Marie Casson and her husband are the legal parents of the child, Kyle can legally adopt the baby boy, because the newborn and his father are brothers.

Mrs. High Court Justice Theis said in her ruling that the baby, who is named Miles, “was born following a surrogacy arrangement whereby the gestational surrogate was [the man's] mother. [Her husband] fully supported this.”

She said the gestational pact was an "admittedly unusual arrangement” and “not one, as far as I am aware, that either this court or the clinic has previously encountered.”

However, she ruled, although highly unusual, [it] is entirely lawful under the relevant statutory provisions," because it was “entered into by the parties after careful consideration, following each having individual counseling and with all the treatment being undertaken by a fertility clinic licensed by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA).”

Critics have described Justice Theis' ruling as "dubious" and have called for reforms to the Human Fertilization and Embryology Act to prevent what such abuses.

Jill Kirby, a writer and policy analyst told the Telegraph that she found it “very disturbing that any mother would consider it healthy or appropriate to give birth to her son’s child.”

“What is even more worrying is that the High Court has granted the son an adoption order, partly based on the ‘closeness’ of the relationship between the family members involved,” she continued.

A spokesman for the law firm Natalie Gamble Associates, which represented Kyle Casson in the hearing, said, "Family surrogacy arrangements are not uncommon. We have certainly dealt with many cases where a sister, sister-in-law, mother, or cousin has acted as a surrogate. Indeed such arrangements are actively incentivized by UK law, given the legal restrictions on advertising and brokering surrogacy arrangements between strangers.:

“The unusual feature of this case is not the family context, but the fact that the intended father was single, and therefore unsupported by the law,” the spokesman stated.

Robert Flello, Labour MP for Stoke-on-Trent South, said the Casson case raises “many concerns and worries.”

Social media commentators took note of the generational confusion created by a man being his offspring's father and brother simultaneously, with some calling it “gross,” “disgusting,” and “selfish.”

"Our traditional notion of 'the family’ has been stretched to include cohabitation, divorce, step-parents and step children, and gay marriage,” the Telegraph's Cristina Odone wrote. "Can it stretch further to encompass surrogacy cases where a mother and son have a baby together?”

“Or does this endless manipulation in fact leave the family unit hollowed out, a meaningless husk rather than an inspiring template for all?"

“Or does this endless manipulation in fact leave the family unit hollowed out, a meaningless husk rather than an inspiring template for all?"

The left's goal is the total destruction of the family as it has existed for six thousand years and they are coming closer to fulfillment each day.

Some women will do anything for a grandbaby. Definitely twisted any way you look at it. Now her gay son will have a young male child to raise up to be homo too. And guess who’s going to be raising the child grandma? You are...

“...carried a donated egg fertilized with her son’s sperm.” Isn’t that a form of incest?

A grandmother giving birth to her own grandson on behalf of her gay son. Isn’t that one of the signs of the Apocalypse?

I guess it is not, genetically speaking.

If it's not it should be.

Incest? That’s about the only evil that isn’t involved. The egg didn’t come from the mother/grandmother. Genetically, the child is not the child of the mother and her son.

If the baby is the brother of the gay son, why does he need to “adopt” it? Since when do brothers need state permission to live together?

Unmentioned are all the babies who are ALWAYS murdered in the process of in vitro fertilization.
