Baby Good Guy Fetus heals mama: SCIENCE!!!

[Mr. Argumentor]

Interesting study thingie. Found that when a pregnant mother is damaged (such as in a heart attack),the fetus donates stem cells to help heal its host.

This was in mice, btw. Would not be surprised if there was a similar deal with us

it also happens in humans, this has been known for a while. Its called fetal cell microchimerism, they find the kids stem cells in the mothers bloodstream when blood analysis is done.

There was something on reddit about this today for the human part. Same deal. Makes sense.

Too bad stem cell research aborts fetuses. Or something.

No, most of the black market fetuses are adults.

My baby could go right on healing me even now that she's been born! We had her cord blood banked so we can possibly use it if I get cancer again or if something happens to her or Dan.

she is keeping healing you even without that. The aforementioned cells stay in your blood for up to 10 years after birth

You know what aborts fetuses? A swift kick to the gut, gaywad.

Adult cells have been regressed back into an embryonic state.
Unfortunately it has led to tumors in mice.
