Why was there such furore around 68-year-old Ana Obregón becoming a mother?

The Spanish actress Ana Obregón made headlines in April when she revealed she was a mother again at 68 years of age. A week later, in a glossy photoshoot for ¡Hola! Magazine, she explained that the baby was actually her granddaughter - born via surrogacy using her dead son’s sperm.

Journalist Patricia Clarke, from Tortoise Media, has been following the story for her podcast, 'Modern Family: I Had My Dead Son’s Baby at 68'. She told Nuala McGovern about the impact the story has had in Spain.
