The performer joined other celebrities who criticized the
Italian duo when she posted a message on Instagram along with a
photograph of herself and a baby from Dolce & Gabbana's
2010/2011 winter collection campaign.
"All babies contain a soul however they come to this earth and
their families. There is nothing synthetic about a soul!! So how
can we dismiss IVF and surrogacy?" said Madonna, who released
her 13th studio album, "Rebel Heart," earlier this month.
Pop star Elton John, who with his partner and husband David
Furnish is the father of two children conceived through
fertility treatment, slammed the designers for the comments and
called for a boycott of the fashion brand.
Celebrities ranging from designer Victoria Beckham to singer
Ricky Martin rallied behind John after the Italian magazine
Panorama published Sicilian-born Dolce's comments.
"You are born and you have a father and a mother. Or at least it
should be like this, that's why I am not convinced by chemical
children, synthetic babies, wombs for rent," Dolce said.
Madonna, a mother of four and a client of the designers, said
God is involved in everything, including technology.
"We are arrogant to think Man does anything on his own. As above
so below! Think before you speak," she added on Instagram.
In a statement released by the designers, who once had a
romantic relationship and remain business partners, they said it
was never their intention of judge other people's choices.
