Mom who used her dead son’s sperm to have his child shares update 3 years later

  Ana Obregón, 71, drew widespread attention when she used her deceased son’s sperm to have his child after he died from cancer. Now, three years later, she has shared an update. The former actress sparked global debate when she honored her late son Aless Lequio’s wishes by using his frozen sperm to conceive a child via surrogacy after he lost his battle with cancer. In 2023, she welcomed her granddaughter, Anita Sandra. “The girl isn’t my daughter, she’s my granddaughter. It was Aless’ last wish to bring a child into the world,” Obregón told ¡Hola! magazine after Anita was born. The baby was conceived using an egg donor, and since surrogacy is not legal in Spain, the procedure was carried out in the United States. In an interview with the Daily Mail last year, she said: “We live our whole lives saying that we are eternal and nothing happens here. Suddenly, one day they tell you at 25 years old that you have an aggressive cancer,” according to UNILAD. Naturally, the story drew sign...

Mom who used her dead son’s sperm to have his child shares update 3 years later

 

Ana Obregón, 71, drew widespread attention when she used her deceased son’s sperm to have his child after he died from cancer. Now, three years later, she has shared an update.

The former actress sparked global debate when she honored her late son Aless Lequio’s wishes by using his frozen sperm to conceive a child via surrogacy after he lost his battle with cancer. In 2023, she welcomed her granddaughter, Anita Sandra.

“The girl isn’t my daughter, she’s my granddaughter. It was Aless’ last wish to bring a child into the world,” Obregón told ¡Hola! magazine after Anita was born.

The baby was conceived using an egg donor, and since surrogacy is not legal in Spain, the procedure was carried out in the United States.

In an interview with the Daily Mail last year, she said: “We live our whole lives saying that we are eternal and nothing happens here. Suddenly, one day they tell you at 25 years old that you have an aggressive cancer,” according to UNILAD.

Naturally, the story drew significant international attention. While some criticized the decision, others praised Obregón for fulfilling her son’s final wish.

“Love is the greatest force that exists”

Since Anita’s birth, Obregón has largely focused on raising her granddaughter. In a social media post shared on Anita’s birthday, she shared a heartfelt update.

“3 years ago today you were born. Three years ago today I came back to life by hugging you for the first time. Because in doing so, I also hugged a piece of your daddy.

“You’ve filled my dark world and my hell with lights, smiles, rubs, hugs, diapers, pacifiers and toys all over the house. You are good, smart, sensitive, and you have the same sense of humor as your Father.”

She continued: “One day I will tell you why you are here, I will tell you about the bravery of your Dad and the life lesson he gave us all. I’ll tell you how much I dreamed of hugging you, caring for you and loving you even though now he does it from heaven. I pray to God that you have good health and are happy for many more years. Always together the three of us.”

She recently also shared a photo of Anita in a Superman costume alongside an old childhood picture of Aless, but chose to cover the young girl’s face.

“I am lucky enough to love my two super heroes with all my soul,” she wrote.

Common back-pain drug may be linked to higher dementia risk, large study finds

  A pain medication that millions of Americans rely on for chronic back pain may come with a hidden risk: a significantly higher chance of developing dementia or other cognitive problems, according to a major new study. Compared 26,000 adults Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and several partner institutions analyzed medical records from 68 health systems across the U.S., comparing 26,414 adults prescribed gabapentin for persistent low-back pain with a matched group who had similar pain — but didn’t take the drug. Their finding was sobering: Adults who received six or more gabapentin prescriptions were 29% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia and 85% more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment (MCI) within 10 years. The risk wasn’t limited to older adults. In fact, it was younger Americans who saw the most dramatic increases. Younger adults saw shocking risk increases For people normally considered decades away from dementia: Ages 35–49 taking gabapentin ha...

Horrible childhood event shaped this Hollywood star’s journey

  For years, this actress has delivered award-winning performances on screen, earning recognition and icon status in Hollywood. Yet her early life was anything but glamorous. Her biological father abandoned her before she was even born, and at 15, she was raped in her own home by a man who claimed he had paid her mother $500. Kidnapped by her stepfather Born in 1962 in Roswell, New Mexico, this Hollywood icon was the child of a brief union between her teen mother, Virginia, and an Air Force airman, Charles Harmon Sr. Her father deserted her then-18-year-old mother after a two-month marriage, long before she was born. Instead, when the actress was just three months old, her mother married a newspaper advertising salesman. Because her stepfather often switched jobs, the family relocated frequently. ”I was desperate for a sense of belonging so I adopted different characters wherever I went,” she once reflected. Her early years were marked by constant moves, fueled by her parents’ alco...
