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?"
That is plain sick and for those liberals and liberal-tarians to have no problem with the homosexual agenda then wake the hell up for crying out loud.
I will pray for that poor child.
And sounds like a bad National Enquirer headline!
The coming thousand years of darkness and Sharia law that will soon descend over all of Britain may be just what they need.
The sun has set on the British empire. Sadly, we are not far behind.
“A grandmother giving birth to her own grandson on behalf of her gay son. Isn’t that one of the signs of the Apocalypse?”
No. If the faggot turns straight, then it’s the Apocalypse. Poor kid. Never had a chance.
If it isn't it should be.
Even the Libs would have to admit that this incident isn’t about the child. It’s all about selfish adults doing anything they want no matter the consequences. I feel really sorry for the child, too.
You have to liquidate these people. Sorry, the sickness is too endemic
I was adding incest to all of the evils everyone else had mentioned.
He’s a super freak, a super freak, he’s super freaky.
The child is not the offspring of the mother and son, so I don’t see any way it could be called “incest.”
It’s nothing less than criminal, however.
Babies need a legal guardian of some type until they are emancipated, to sign school papers and so forth. If his mother assumed that responsibility, he wouldn't "feel" like a "parent."
If men can find new ways to sin, they will Wag...this is disgusting
Oops! I forgot about his feelings!
I’ll repeat my usual question to these stories of sickness. If the son is “gay” then why does he have a desire to pro-create? Could it be that his nature is to be heterosexual, therefore he has a natural desire to procreate and is chosing to behave in a matter that makes it impossible to fullfill that natural desire?
OK, lefties, straighten me out....
Sick and sicker.
Read Romans 1 Wag, every time I see something like this it is Romans 1 that comes to my mind..
God has given us over to our sin
