Diana W. Bianchi, M.D. of the Tufts University Sackle School of Graduate Biomedical Research has found that cells from fetuses during pregnancy cross over into mothers and become a large assortment of types of specialized cells in the mothers and persist for years.
Bianchi and her colleagues retrieved cells from the tissue samples of 10 women who had male sons and compared them to tissue samples from 11 women who had never had male offspring. The reason the researchers chose women with male offspring is that it would be easy to detect cells from male offspring because male cells carry the Y chromosome, while female cells do not.
The tissue samples were from the thyroid, cervix, liver, lymph node, intestine, spleen and gallbladder. Skin samples were also collected from 11 women in a control group.
Bianchi said that not only did they find fetal cells present in the mothers' tissue samples, but that the fetal cells had taken on the characteristics of the mother's cells.
I was listening to Vicki Thorn's presentation on The Biology of the Theology of the Body, and she said they are finding repairative cells in women's bodies after they have carried a son. Even if the son was miscarried, aborted or given birth to there are cells that are left behind in the mother. The deficiencies in the mother's body that make her susceptible to certain illnesses, diseases, etc are countered by the Y chromosome in the cells left in her body by her son. God is such an astounding creator!
