Introduction. In pregnancy, fetal and maternal circulation systems are not separate. Normally, there is 2-way cell traffic through the placenta. This inter-person highway is called the transplacental passage. Moreover, mothers store living fetal cells from every biological child. Even after her death, a mother's circulation contains fetal cells. Proof exists in both human and animal-model, post-mortem exams. This phenomenon is known as fetal micro-chimerism or FMc.
The purpose of this article is to explore FMc, advantages and complications. What are implications in the post-abortive mother? What are implications with foreign DNA i.e. surrogacy, in vitro fertilization (IVF) or rent-a-womb programs? What are implications with foreign RNA, i.e. inoculations? Please see box for DNA and RNA differences. Most important, what are Divine implications in Mother Mary from the bearing of Our Lord Jesus Christ?

How do DNA and RNA differ? At the risk of oversimplification, below are 3 major contrasts.
Structure: DNA is double-stranded, usually, while RNA is single-stranded.
Origin: DNA makes RNA
Function: DNA stores genetic blueprints while RNA transmits instructions for building.

Definition. Each human has 46 chromosomes in their DNA: 23 from Mom and 23 from Dad. Chimerism is defined as one human or mammal possessing 2 sets of DNA. Fetal micro-chimerism is where a mother stores micro-amounts of friendly fetal stem cells from each biological offspring. Each child leaves behind small amounts of fetal cells in their mother. Storage may occur in any tissue, hollow or solid organ. This normal phenomenon occurs in every pregnancy to include miscarriages and abortions. However, complications arise with rent-a-womb, surrogacy or IVF programs. These introduce non-related DNA; sometimes more than 2 sets. Exposure to multiple sets foreign DNA is interpreted by the body as a threat. Similarly with mRNA inoculations, exposure to multiple sets of foreign RNA may be interpreted by the body as a threat. This explains why Transfusion and Transplantation Medicine--solid organ and bone marrow--match donor and recipient histology with painstaking accuracy. It also explains why mismatched recipients take anti-rejection medications for life.
Advantages. The many FMc advantages may explain why women live longer. In both human and animal data, FMc cells repair their mom's tissue damage especially upon injury. Fetal stem cells offer extra immunity, since half of paternal DNA is buried within fetal stem cells. Fetal stem cells carry anti-cancer properties. Overall, FMc plays an essential role in maternal pathophysiology. In His brilliance, God's reasons are veiled but someday all will be revealed. Even after abortions, God uses fetal cells to heal and support their Mama until her death. How is that for God's unconditional love?
Disadvantages. Problems occur with multiple sets of DNA overexposures, mRNA-tainted blood transfusions and other breaches. For example, what if we are transfused with an incompatible blood type? This could be an existential threat. Without immediate intervention, signs of shock will appear. Mixing certain ABO blood types are incompatible with life. If the blood donor was a woman who has been pregnant, there may be fetal cells present. If we respect his work, God protects mothers. To show their respect for God's handiwork, Jehovah's witnesses refuse blood transfusions. Blueprints and building instructions are unique to each person. Who are we to overwrite God's loving work?
After foreign tissue breaches and overexposure, foreign cells reside wherever they land, in all body parts, even the brain. This may explain how autoimmune diseases develop. Auto means self. Auto-immune diseases are when the immune system attacks the self. Examples of auto-immune diseases are lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, certain diabetes types, pancreatitis, etc. In auto-immune diseases, no one knows why the attacks occur. Often viruses are blamed. Perhaps, an established deposit of someone else's DNA or RNA is housed in the diseased organ? Is the body attacking itself or someone else's DNA? The good news is that chimerism is studied closely today. Transplant medicine literature focuses on tissue mismatches, to fine-tune doses of anti-rejection medicines, taken daily for survival.
Rent-a-womb, surrogacy and IVF programs will expose both mom and baby to multi-sourced DNA, hence all have risks. With foreign exposure and breaches, we can theorize that these souls will face higher rates of miscarriage, histology incompatibilities and auto-immune diseases. Who is counting the number of DNA sets used in each case?
Immaculate Mary & our Lord Jesus Christ. God and sin are incompatible. To be chosen, Mother Mary must be free from original or any other sin. This supports why Jesus had no siblings. No one with original sin, could share the same womb where Divine DNA is left behind. It explains why demons flee from Mother Mary; she is peppered with Jesus' FMc cells. It also supports her Assumption. Why would Mother Mary's remains be left behind to decompose if she harbors living God cells? Proof is no one, from Eastern nor Western churches who fought over saints' relics, ever fought over Mother Mary's relics-why?
Conclusion. DNA and RNA are unique to every individual. Mixing multiple blueprints or building instructions would compromise a construction project. In our bodies, so too; cells are confused when >2 sets of blueprints or instructions are in play. Despite our best intentions, foreign blueprints or building instructions may target healthy cells, tissues, organs or processes.
Mothers who birthed priests will always have pieces of their favorite priest within them. Similarly, there is good news for miscarriage and abortion-regretting parents. Babies remain alive in FMc cells to help their beloved Mama throughout her life.
If our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit; every effort should be made to preserve God's masterpiece, our uniqueness. If we follow all the science, God uses DNA to facilitate forever connections. Mother Mary is forever connected to her Son, through the fetal stem cells He left behind. When we honor her, we honor Jesus. Mother Mary's womb is a sacred space in which His cells reside forever. She is still His tabernacle.

Science cannot explain suffering. As Lay Passionist and nurse, she challenges modern health care assumptions; contraception, abortion, euthanasia, herd immunity and more. Behind every health dilemma, God asks us to abide in Him. Author of 7 books & >20 peer-reviewed nursing journal articles; she also writes as "The Catholic Nurse" on Substack, see "Archives." She is a veteran of the Army Nurse Corps. Her primary charism is mercy through which she explores redemptive suffering, spiritual healing and the joy of bringing of souls to God.
