Greetings to my esteemed friends on the Cent platform and the entire Hive blockchain. It's a new day and time to share with you the goodness and advancement of science and technology in human history. It's your friend @faquan saying hello from this part of the world.
Are you already giving up on your child or children due to paternity test failure(s) and you're already sending your wife away? Wait a minute and consider doing the last test to ascertain the true reality of your child.
Over the years, many faithful women have been accused of cheating and infidelity in their homes due to failure of ascertaining the paternity of their child/children to their husbands after a DNA test. This has broken many homes and the woman convicted by the DNA evidence.
Life itself is transient in nature and this changes in human existence has not only affected life but has also affected the technology man built for the better. A second thought has been given in advance nations in the area of knowing the actual father of a child after the failure of one DNA and this process is known as Chimerism.
What is Chimerism?
Chimerism is a rare condition in which a person's body contains two different sets of DNA.
Truly, knowledge is power and many have ignorantly push their wives away due to limited knowledge in the human anatomy.
I know you may be asking yourself how an individual can have more than one DNA. Nothing is impossible. I've been afraid of blood transfusion because of the unseen elements in the person that donated the blood. For instance, a thief's blood infused into a person could mix with a non-thief and suddenly the person could start stealing. Although this is my thought but after reading about human Chimerism I'm beginning to believe that my thoughts aren't a mistake.
What causes chimerism?
Microchimerism
In humans, chimerism most commonly occurs when a pregnant woman absorbs a few cells from her fetus. The opposite may also happen, where a fetus absorbs a few cells from its mother.
These cells may travel into the mother’s or fetus’s bloodstream and migrate to different organs. They may remain in a mother’s body or a child’s body for a decade or more following childbirth. This condition is called microchimerism.
Artificial chimerism
A similar kind of chimerism can occur when a person receives a blood transfusion, stem cell transplant, or bone marrow transplant from another person and absorbs some of that person’s cells. This is called artificial chimerism.
Artificial chimerism was more common in the past. Today, transfused blood is usually treated with radiation. This helps the transfusion or transplant recipient better absorb the new cells without permanently incorporating them into their body.
Twin chimerism
A more extreme form of chimerism can occur when a pair of twins is conceived and one embryo dies in the womb. The surviving fetus may absorb some of the cells of its deceased twin. This gives the surviving fetus two sets of cells: its own, and some of its twin’s.
It's obvious that chimerism is now a reality, although, it has been proven that only about 100 cases of chimerism has been positive and many not be used to conclude that it exists, if this number of cases has been confirmed then we need to take it seriously but concluding on the case of paternity test.
In conclusion, we must make use of all available methods in checking the paternity of a child before we concluded and bring the matter of infidelity to the public.
There are more to come from scientific discoveries.
