Left Behind

Well here is a reason to think more than once about an abortion.  Not all of the fetus leaves your body.  Science has found Y chromosomes in women's bodies that may very well never leave.  The Y chromosome is easier to find in a woman.  These chromosomes seem to spread to all organs in the body.  Science does not know if these cells contribute to prevent disease or even contribute to such things as cancer.  Who knows?  What if those little Y things could record a woman's desire or decision to end its fetal life?  Can chromosomes be merciful and forgiving?  On the other hand this may give one more indication why a mother feels a special bond with her children.  Some parts of the children stay with Mom throughout her life.  So maybe when my Mom died a little bit of me died with her.  No wonder I cried at her bedside over her dead body.
