Since no blood from the woman donor goes into the fetus, and the womb is like a fleshy eggshell, that doesn't leave traces of itself on that which was in it, how can this make the fetus unclean as you imply?
Cindy, see here somewhere where it makes a difference.
Jim, if you want to believe that a fetus is unrelated to its mother, that is your perogative.
Just remember that we believe otherwise. That Jesus inherits His humanity from His mother. It is this inheritance that we are concerned with, not with the exchange of blood to the fetus.

Since He came for the sinner, does it seem reasonable that he would require a divine womb, or would he be born from a woman who represented those He came to save?
Again, we see this peculiar idea that a woman without sin is somehow "divine." I wonder where this idea comes from.
Stay tuned.
Jim, another thought. Remember Isaiah has a vision and has his lips seared with a coal to purify them. Because nothing impure can stand in God's presence.
How do we expect the Holy Spirit to come upon Mary without destroying her unless she is first made clean, a worthy receptacle for God to reside in?
