Well, this woman had both kind of ovules, so I don't see why a man couldn't have both strands of DNA--each kind of sperm--in his semen.
So I guess you could end up with a false negative. It would be pretty rare, though...we need to know how rare.

Slow down, I never questioned whether "human chimeras" are a real phenomenon.
My point was entirely on the topic of whether her sons are "biologically related"

Fascinating. Thanks for the heads up. Here is what the NEJM has to say in one article:
Chimerism, the presence of two genetically distinct cell lines in an organism, either is acquired through the infusion of allogeneic hematopoietic cells during transplantation1 or transfusion2 or is inherited. In fraternal twins, chimerism occurs by means of blood-vessel anastomoses. A less common cause of congenital chimerism so-called tetragametic chimerism occurs through the fertilization of two ova by two spermatozoa, followed by the fusion of the zygotes and the development of an organism with intermingled cell lines.3 Examples have been found in mice4 and other mammalian species,5,6,7 including humans.8.

I heard this on the radio Friday, and was dumbfounded. When I told my mom, she thought I was looney.
I'm glad to see I wasn't completely out of my head hearing this.

If you google, you will find an article in Nature, and something else. I read them after hearing about this on the local radio station.
It's really fascinating.

the doctor told her she would require surgery to remove a gill that had not dissolved during her fetal development. Sorry but that theory was disproven a long time ago.

Because....is a good answer?

"Because....is a good answer?"
My answer wasn't "Because". It was "Because He said."

I still don't know how you figured it was He, instead of ...'because God said'..?

"I still don't know how you figured it was He, instead of ...'because God said'..?"
Let me restate my response.
Because HE said.
I'm not sure why you are having a hard time grasping this.
