This explains some of Mom's supernatural skill at detecting ANYTHING I might have thought about doing wrong. ;)

Goes a long way toward explaining why my ex became such a child-like dimbulb after having children...

If there are any of my brain cells in Mom’s cranium, she isn’t using them. She’s a Democrat.

Very fascinating.

Now, if the scientific evidence accumulates that this does, without question, occur at the fetal development stage.....

Let the arguments begin!

Of course, the party of sCiEnCe will declare abortion on demand not murder, they will demand gorEbAlwarMing eLeVentY!!!111!! taxes and proceed to worship a 1/2 black man as the second coming.

To me, more evidence that God does, in fact, exist.

Brings a whole new dimension into the veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of God, doesn’t it :)

I realize that this is biology and not theology, and yet the truth about Jesus is both biology and theology. And what vistas this opens up on the relationship between Jesus and Mary!

We were discussing this last night at our RCIA lesson on Mary (I'm a member of the RCIA teaching team) --- we were talking about Mary's strong empathy with Jesus, to the extent that even when He was an infant, Simeon said that a sword would pierce Mary's heart and soul (like the sword that pierced Jesus) --- it was all there, on the level of empathy, from the beginning.

("And Mary kept these things, pondering them in her heart.")

I'm not too much into theo-bio-speculation. But it's something to think of, if a child's cells are microchimerizing the mother, and the Child is the Son of God.

I think it was Salvation who mentioned that there are cells remaining in a woman’s uterus from each child she bears. Iirc, it was in the context of the Assumption, because part of the body of the incarnate Son of God was still carried by His Mother on earth until she was assumed into Heaven.

Raises the interesting possibility of undoing an abortion.
