Thank you.
I was gonna ask… wait how the fuck is this possible?
Yeah, chimeras are fascinating.
Also, if you’re a human chimera, well, you’re probably fucked if you ever need to do DNA testing to verify anything for legal purposes.
There have been cases where like a chimera mom who gave birth to a child failed a dna test and then legally lost child support rights, because they tested a part of her body with the ‘wrong’ DNA.

Are we sure it wasn’t the father’s DNA that didn’t match? It’s so very rare for them to ever test the mother as that is usually never questioned because well if the birth certificate says she had the kid it’s likely.
