I think I get it: they are trying to play God, but inevitably they fall short.

Yes, "it" was "born" on my birthday.
Perhaps the significance is for me, not "it." Hmmmm.....
Why would anyone do this to their own child? Do they not understand the implications of a child having the exact same immune system as its parent? The whole purpose of sexual reproduction is precisely to scramble the genes from one generation to the next, so that disease organisms that evolve to be successful in the parent do not also kill the offspring. This woman has just given her many disease organisms (we all have millions of them inside us) a thirty-year head start on adapting to her kid's immune system. Whatever ultimately kills her will find no resistance in her child. That's just dumb.
