My mother has been listening to many books about genetics, paleontology, and other related topics. I have been picking up snippets of these subjects by proximity. With twins, even if they are fraternal, it’s still very possible for them to share cells between themselves and their mother. In fact, mothers regularly share cells with their offspring that live on inside them in some cases till the end of their lives. They can do things like interfere with cancer, or repair damage, and so on. It’s interesting, and a little scary in some cases.

For instance, it is now known that you can transfer cancer between people and animals. It’s not easy at this point, but it has happened. Tasmanian devils have actually been transferring a cancer between each other, via fighting, that is decimating their population.

The intricacies of the cellular world are daunting.

Anyway, I won’t frighten you with further tales like the ones above. Though I certainly could… I will simply remind you that support links are above as well and I hope you have a nice Wednesday & Thursday before we meet here again. For the time being I wish you well.
