Hi, this is Ros updating Dan's earlier post. I don;t think many of you saw this story coming. Sir Elton (along with his partner, David Furnish) have a son born to a surrogate mother in California on Christmas Day, and there are three things being talked through online.
1) Should a gay couple be allowed to have a surrogate child?
2) Is Elton too old to become a dad?
3) The merits of the name Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John. (As a man wth a woman's name, I'm passing no comment...)
There's also some concern about the level of scrutiny young Zacharia will live with.
Are any or all of these issues worthy of consideration, or should we just raise a glass to Elton and his partner, and let them get on with bringing the boy up.
