Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for June 05, 2012

A couple of years ago, saw a Canadian Goose hit a truck — it looked like a giant feather pillow exploded.

Will the real parents stand up, please?Is their daughter another person?How does paternity enter into it?Maybe I’m dense, but it doesn’t make sense to me!

“Birds of a feather flock together!” or Pillows of a feather mass together! (Rocky and Bullwinkle alternate title)Well, at least the mass wasn’t in church!

I believe paternity is determined by analysis of the genetic material of cells derived from the child and father and maternity is determined by analysis of the genetic material found in the mitochondria within the cells and those of the mother. Mitochondria and its host cells have separate genes. A maternity test would also have to be performed to establish that the girls were unrelated to either parent.

….that’s Not a Revolution China!

There probably have been many undetected switches.

Who says the Red Chinese have no sense of fun?

Switched at Birth problems are eliminated today since they take the mother’s fingerprint and the baby’s footprint right after the birth. Plus matching I.D. bracelets are put on the baby’s wrist and ankle and matches the mother’s bracelet.

Also there would be no birth swich if people would have their babies at home instead of the hospital. Do you really have to go to the hospital to have a baby when people were having them long before there were hospitals?

how do we know if we were switched at birth?
