Acting as a surrogate mother for her homosexual son, a British woman made headlines this week after giving birth to her own grandson, reports LifeSiteNews.

Impregnated with a donated egg, fertilized by her homosexual son Brian's sperm, 46-year-old Anne-Marie Casson was well within her legal rights under the UK's 2008 Human Fertilization and Embryology Act when she gave birth to her own grandson. Though the law stipulates that children born of surrogates must be given to a couple in "enduring family relationship," a judge ruled that Brian Casson can legally adopt the baby, named Miles, because "the newborn and his father are brothers."

In her ruling, High Court Justice Thies said little baby Miles "was born following a surrogacy arrangement whereby the gestational surrogate was [the man's] mother. [Her husband] fully supported this." 

While the Justice noted this was an "unusual arrangement", it was "entirely lawful under the relevant statutory provisions" for being "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)."

Speaking to the Telegraph, social policy analyst Jill Kirby said, "I find 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.

People on social media have been calling the arrangement "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?”

Speaking to Britain's The Daily Mail, Mrs. Casson said about her decision, "When he first came to me and his dad, I thought ‘I could do it’. Some people, when they did find out, said ‘urgh’, but they don’t understand.

"He is not biologically tied to me, other than he’s my grandson. I love being a parent and for Kyle to experience that, I would do that for him."
