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?

Doesn’t surprise me Mups, anything goes these days, and no matter how daft it is the’ll have a nice name for it too.

Re: Mother & Son relationship

This is incest it's not legal.

Re: Mother & Son relationship

That's what I thought Muddy.

But they are even getting married!
Who is going to perform a ceremony like that if it is not legal?
What medical person is going to do the fertilised implants if it is not legal?

I really don't understand it.

Re: Mother & Son relationship

I am not sure which law covers incest Mups, but I believe it must be illegal.
Whether it is or not, I sincerely hope they are covering the expense of producing their baby from their own pockets!

Re: Mother & Son relationship

I wondered if that is what selling their story was contributing to, Twink.

Re: Mother & Son relationship

Any doctor or health professional who is undertaking this procedure for this couple is highly unethical and, I believe, should be struck off his/her professional register. He/she should not work again - I suppose he/she is doing it purely for the money. I find this abhorrent - no thought for the resulting child/children IMO.

This mother and son are certainly in an incestuous relationship despite what they say/think. Some people seem to wear blinkers.

Re: Mother & Son relationship

Totally agree Aerolor.

Maybe now they have gone so public, someone will step in.

I was trying to do a link to the story, but haven't been able to, but here is another very similar tale.

It explains about the GSA theory towards the end of the article.

Re: Mother & Son relationship

It's illegal for a start ... there's this convoluted pecking order of consanguinity. In other words a bar due to common ancestor/blood relatedness, and you can't get closer than parent and child.
The Egyptian Pharaohs were terrible for it.

Then there's the genetics. Anything the grandparents passed to their daughter, she passed on to her son. Great if you're superman, not so good if 'something runs in the family'.

Otherwise, yuk ... mother and son has to be the most revolting. It must take a big shift in mentality to have carnal relations with a man, whose she carried in her womb for 9 months, and whose she's already had carnal relations with another man to produce.
I wonder if the natural father is still about .. will he like his new daughter-in-law?

Very likely Mups!

Was the lady British?
