Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Dear Jay, Hare Rama Krsna! >What does any learned astrologer have to say about such a challenge ? The answer is simple, Jay. The mother is the person who is giving birth to the child. No matter where egg, fertilisation etc came from. Can they do the entire process of nourishing the embryo and letting it grow from fertilisation till a newborn baby in the laboratorium? I guess they would wish they could... then what about cloning, an even further confusion? We have the case of Gandhari, who had 100 sons at one time. They were put into vats of ghee and were born after having been fully developed in there, but still the lump of flesh that had been divided into 100 pieces had been born from Gandhari herself. Therefore wasn't she the mother? Balarama was in the womb of Devaki as her 7th child, but was transported by Yogamaya after some months of pregnancy into the womb of Rohini, and Devaki appeared to have had a miscarriage. Now isn't Rohini been considered as Balarama's mother? Confusing indeed, but still it's clear the mother is the one who is giving 'birth' to the child. The rest we have to see in the lines of adoption. Yours, Dhira Krsna dasa, Jyotishi http://www.radhadesh.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
