Mother & Son relationship
Not sure if this should be here, or in Social issues?
I have just read a rather disturbing article, and would like to know what others think.
After a death in the family, a woman was handed some old documents relating to her son who she had given birth to when she was 16, and had given up for adoption.
From these papers and letters, she discovered where he is now, and eventually contacted him. He is 30 years old now.
They spoke on the telephone and talked easily.
The following Christmas day, he emailed a photograph of him to his mother, and a few weeks later they arranged to meet up.
When they met, the son hugged his mother, but instead of feeling maternal towards him, she felt overwhelming attracted to him - she fancied him!!
Two weeks later they went to a party together, had plenty of drinks and stayed in a hotel room together. They ended up having sex.
Afterwards the son said they had done nothing wrong, because he didn't think of her as his Mum, he thought of his adoptive mother as 'Mum'.
Apparently there is a thing called GSA, which means Genetic Sexual Attraction, the son explained there is even a website for it. They do not believe it is incest.
The woman's family have disowned her.
They couple have now moved in together.
Through that website, they have found an Egg Donor (who is also in a relationship with her brother
), and the mother is taking hormones to "improve her womb lining" so they can use the donor's eggs to fertilize with her son's sperm and have them inplanted in her own womb.
She says she is 'desperate' to have her son's baby.

Now I don't know about anyone else, but I found this pretty sick and extremely difficult to understand.
For the life of me I cannot understand people like this.
Is it even legal, especially to have a child together?
Is it even legal for whoever does the implanting to do that?
