- Mothers never donate their kidneys to their offspring in utero. Even
- if you could get it back, the analogy fails. It fails even more miserably
- if you can't get it back. What you "hope" is irrelevant to the
- analogy.
-
- As I said on another thread, mothers don't even donate blood
- corpuscles to their offspring in utero. Plasma, yes.
