I read the article. It's not the first time the subject's come up on this site, either. Obviously, the child shares the parent's DNA genetic properties ...

You may have READ the article, but you clearly did not understand its import.... And I understand the knee jerk need to deflect and obfuscate God's plan for Mary or Isaiah 7:14 as just a "woman" who said yes- but you have missed the point.

The Article IS NOT ABOUT DNA !!
Yes shared cellular structure obviously exists in offspring coded by dna. - But the medical tech of the article is focused on the discovery whereby LIVING CELLS are exchanged between pregnant Mother and her Baby throughout the pregnancy.

Draw your own conclusions- or denials, but for The Blessed Virgin Mary to carry around living cells from the Christ Child within her- and Assumed into Heaven (As even Luther preached) with those cells from Christ through bringing the Savior into this world- (full circle?).... well that's just pretty dang interesting for those who Love Mary, the Queen of Heaven, who is there for us- as she was for God. (In spite of not bein able to find "living fetal cell transfer of pregnancy" in the Bible)

Who are you to judge what I do or do not understand? Here's a thought...instead of your OWN knee-jerk reaction of assuming those who don't buy into the Catholic Mariolatry have a knee-jerk "need to deflect and obfuscate God's plan for Mary", why not accept that not everyone thinks the same way on this as some of you do?

Yes, I can draw my own conclusions. I hate to break this to you, but Mary is not IN her resurrected and glorified body yet. When she does, it will NOT be the same body she died in:

“But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Where O Death is Your Victory?

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. ” (I Corinthians 15:35-57)

Mary and Jesus More Closely Related than we may have Thought.. Holy DNA !
