Last week a piece of news grabbed the headlines in our country: Ana Obregón became a mother again at the age of 68 after a surrogacy process in the United States. The magazine HELLO! has been in charge of launching the exclusive images of the actress and presenter leaving the Memorial Regional Hospital in Miami in a wheelchair with the newborn, thus unleashing chaos in networks.
The news has aroused controversy, causing numerous public figures to reflect on the Madrid's decision, such as Ana Peleteiro or Andrea Guasch. The last to get wet is the television presenter Mercedes Milá, who has published a story on Instagram analyzing the topic of the moment.
In a reflection on motherhood, Mercedes Milá shared on networks: "Ana Obregón's" daughter "has revolutionized the comments of many people. I agree with many of them, although I easily get the buts”.
“If I think of gay friends who have done the same, I am inclined to accept surrogacy without hesitation. The problem comes when I visualize the biological mother. I would like to see her, listen to her, talk, know her reasons for having given birth to this baby, "continued the journalist.
Delving into Ana Obregón's relationship with the biological mother, Milá added: "Knowing how much they have paid her and knowing, as happens to a friend with the mother of her two children, if Ana will have a relationship with the biological mother and she will be able to see grow her daughter. It is evident that Ana Obregón is relieving with her the terrible pain she suffered with the death of her son Alex so young. I will not be the one to question it."
Ana Obregón's unexpected motherhood has raised all kinds of criticism, as many have shown some concern about her state of mental and emotional health after the loss of her son Aless Lequio, who died in 2020 from cancer.
Likewise, the practice of surrogacy has become a trending topic this week, since part of the population accuses it of being unethical as there is a monetary exchange between the surrogate and the family that ultimately cares for the baby. Journalists, influencers, politicians and all kinds of celebrities have commented on the hottest topic of the month, which promises to remain an ongoing debate.
