Ana Obregón, 68, reveals a baby born in the US was fathered by her son who died of cancer.
Ana Obregón revealed news of her newborn baby last week and said she felt "alive again"A week after 68-year-old TV actress Ana Obregón stunned Spain by revealing she had a baby by surrogacy in the US, she has now explained that the baby was fathered by her dead son.
Although having a woman give birth on your behalf is illegal in Spain, adopting a child born abroad is lawful."This was Aless's final wish, to bring a child of his own into the world," she said, describing a conversation a week before her son died. Ana Obregón's initial revelation that she had paid for surrogacy in the US prompted anger from ministers in the left-wing government and sparked a national debate.But the actress, renowned for her roles in sitcoms and comedies, sees the storm over the baby's birth as "absurd", arguing that surrogacy is a form of assisted reproduction that is legal in much of the world beyond Spain.. It is often, but not always, done in exchange for money.
While a dead man's semen is regularly used for insemination in assisted reproduction in Spain, it is allowed only within 12 months of a man's death and would involve a widow.
