'The specifics of Mr. Longs situation raise an inevitable question: What happens if he has a baby? Would he pass on the genes of his German donor or his own to future offspring? In this case, the answer will remain untested because Mr. Long had a vasectomy after his second child was born. '
‘In 2004, investigators in Alaska uploaded a DNA profile extracted from semen to a criminal DNA database. It matched a potential suspect. But there was a problem: The man had been in prison at the time of the assault. It turned out that he had received a bone marrow transplant. The donor, his brother, was eventually convicted.’
Darwin knew not about DNA, much less other bodily biochemicals, proteins, etc.
It’s a Jungle...
A little disquieting ... but kewel.
Would be interesting if he got physiologically younger. Not a lot but some due to the youth of the donor.
Very interesting!
And what if his donor had been female (can they even do that?)
We always say that biological sex is determined by DNA...
Since his entire sperm supposedly caries only the DNA of his donor, then his offspring would biological reflect the donor as their biological father.
People who carry an undeveloped twin in their bodies have two sets of DNA. That makes me wonder about the DNA cleared and released convicts.
Peterman : Elaine, according to your urine analysis, you're menopausal. you have the metabolism of a 68 year old woman. Oh, and one more thing. You may have osteoporosis.
I wonder if Bidens hairplugs really came from his own @ss or some other morons @ss halfway around the world?
Be advised:
When you do “23 & Me”
You ARE submitting your DNA to LEO
...And you ARE therefore submitting your FAMILY DNA to LEO.
That’s really weird.
Can the same thing happen in blood transfusions?
I read somewhere, don’t remember where, that a woman carries part of the DNA of every man she has had complete intercourse with.
Since he can’t father a child the issue is a moot point but the article says that the ONLY DNA he has in his semen is that of the German. That means that he would be unable to pass his own DNA if he fathered a child?
Not nice to fool or fool around with Mother Nature.
If he has a baby, the German Doner will be forced to pay child support based on the DNA evidence.
Dear German guy, I - or I should say you - just fathered a child. We’re suing for child support.
bone marrow contains stem cells that spawn red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. In a transplant, ALL the native bone marrow stems cells are first killed and THEN the donor bone marrow stem cells are introduced.
Most DNA tests are done with buccal swabs, and the DNA thus obtained originates from cells that are shed from the inner linings of the mouth and from white blood cells, thus it is no surprise at all that folks who’ve had bone marrow transplants will show their DNA as belonging to the donor ...
Theres also a pig monkey in the news.
Stranger than this is people who are chimeras. They have two unique DNA profiles. I forget how it happens, either twins from two different fathers fuse together early on or two sperm cells somehow fertilize the same egg.
Oh brave new world/
That has such people in it!
“all of the DNA in his semen belonged to his donor. “
