Anglican Bishop Questions Elton John's Suitability as Father

The former Bishop of Rochester, Dr. Michael Nazir Ali has raised ethical and moral concerns over the artificial insemination of an American woman to produce a child for Sir Elton John and his civil partner, David Furnish.

Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Bishop Nazir Ali questioned the wisdom of the arrangement and its baleful consequences for the child: Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John.

"I believe that surrogacy, inevitably, introduces a 'third' party to the legal parents," the bishop said and "will affect the welfare of the child, psychologically and in other ways."
