Daily Mail has the scoop on Sir Elton John:
But the flamboyant star, now enjoying life as the parent of a toddler, has admitted it will be ‘heartbreaking’ for Zachary to grow up without a mother.
The singer, 65, and his civil partner David Furnish, were delighted when Zachary arrived on Christmas Day 2010.
Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John – to give him his full name – was born via surrogate in California and was conceived using a donor egg.
Sir Elton and Mr Furnish, 49, have made it no secret that they want to have another child, and may start trying to father a sibling for Zachary this summer.
Sir Elton confessed: ‘It’s going to be heartbreaking for him to grow up and realise he hasn’t got a mummy.
The Daily Mail also reports that breast milk was couriered daily from the surrogate mother to Zachary when he was a newborn.
Although Elton John believes it will be "heartbreaking" for his son to grow up without a mother, he and his partner are both in the market for a new surrogate mother for another child. Furnish said, "If we found a surrogate who is half as beautiful as our first, we would be very lucky."
Question: Is it possible to hire a surrogate mother without exploiting her as a gender object?

Hey, broodsow. I don't follow your logic. How are gay men exploiting some woman as an incubator and milk jug. That's what fundamentalists like yourself do, because that's all that they can see women are worth. I fail to understand your logic. Oh, duh! You don't believe in logic. You believe in a worn out book. Sorry. My bad.
ReplyDeleteIf prostitutes are paid to have sex, what do you call it when a woman is paid to have a baby?
DeleteThe question is, does the very nature of surrogacy mean the exploitation of women? Does surrogacy reduce women to gender objects?
