Cloning, Embryo development and Artificial Fertilization
If
you had read the Mahabharata a hundred years back, you would have
thought all those advanced medical descriptions should be "divine" or
"crap". Now in this 21st century, we can perceive them to some extent
with skepticism due to the development in science. Therefore more and
more we advance in science we could perceive the advanced scientific
concepts of Mahabharata better.
The
Mahabharata describes how once when Gandhari was pregnant, in a fit of
anger, she struck her womb and consequently had a miscarriage. The lump
of flesh that came out of her womb was cut into 100 pieces. The great
sage Vyasadeva instructed her to place these pieces in 100 ghee pots.
And that is how the Kauravas were born. ("The Mahabharata actually
describes how Vedavyas created the Kauravas from a single embryo from
Gandhari" states Dr B G Matapurkar, a surgeon with Maulana Azad Medical
College in New Delhi. Dr Matapurkar holds a US patent on an organ
regeneration technique that he devel-oped ten years ago. He further
states, "they not only knew about test tube babies and embryo splitting
but also had the technology to grow human fetuses outside the body of a
woman - something that is not known to modern science." (The Times Of
India. May 5, 2002; The Indian Express, May 4, 2002)).
The
conference was organized by the southern chapter of the All India
Biotech Association. Mr Matapurkar, said that he was thrilled when he
stumbled on a verse in Mahabharata under the chapter Adiparva that
actually describes how the Kauravas were created from a single embryo
from Gandhari. He said that according to the description in Mahabharata,
the Kauravas were created by splitting the single embryo into 100 parts
and growing each part in a separate container. In other words,
Matapurkar said, "they not only knew about test-tube babies and embryo
splitting but also had the technology to grow human foetuses outside the
body of woman, something that is not known to modern science"
Apart
from the above there is also mention of an embryo, conceived in one
womb, being transferred to the womb of another woman from where it is
born. The transferred embryo is Balarama and this is how he is a brother
to Krishna although he was born to Rohini and not to Devaki.Guys i hope
you remember FILHAAL movie of meghana gulzar where surrogate mother
concept was shown.
In
the case of Kunti conceiving by chanting manthras through yogic trans,
there is fertilization (the process involving a sperm fusing with an
ovum) but without physical Intercourse.May be the manthra acting like a
password invokes the object of Meditation (Indra, Vayu Etc) to transmit
its chromosomes to the meditator (using her biological address). A very
advanced form of Artificial Fertilization.
Guys still there are many things to come up so have patience .
