I've pondered the thought of Jesus having *holy blood* when there's this
popular theory that states that "the blood comes from the man" and that
the woman has no contribution to it.  At one time, I totally agreed with
the statement when I accepted it blindly as fact.  But this notion is
in disagreement with basic biological principles.

Often times it's said that the above is true *blood from the man 
(that's provides the baby's blood) isn't mingled with the woman's
blood because the placenta keeps them separate.  Which is technically
true.  But it's not the mans blood that's being separate from the
woman's blood, it's the baby's blood from the womans.

The placenta is the means in reproduction in the female's uterus that
connects her life support systems to the umbilical chord of the growing
baby.  The placenta serves the purpose of keeping the baby's blood on
the baby's side as well as keeping the mother's blood on the mother's
side.  More or less, a super-duty filter of sorts keeping things in
their right places as well as allowing nutrients to pass from one side
to the other and then waste material pass backwards on it's return trip.

K?

Now the part where folks are mistaken is about *blood types* of the growing
child.  As in all human genetic material, there's a male set of chromosomes
(contributed by the DNA of the sperm) and there's a female set of chromo-
somes (as contributed by the DNA of the egg).  Everybody on this earth
get's half of their entire genetic codes supplied by each of their parents
including the blood.

There are different types of blood, A, B, and O primarily in the world.
There are others, but these are the dominanat types.  The blood types of 
offspring can be guaged in the following table.

              A        B       O  (male)
      -----+------+--------+-------
        A  | AA   |  AB    |  AO
      -----+------+--------+-------
        B  | BA   |  BB    |  BO  
      -----+------+--------+-------
        O  | AO   |  BO    |  OO   
      -----+------+--------+-------
   (female)

Now, by looking at the blood type two characters, if the two characters
are the same, then they are read as a singular letter.  For example, 
AA's are typed as A.  BB's are typed as B.  OO's are typed as O.  When
there are two letters that are different, and one of them is an O,
the O is ignored, and that blood type is named according to the other
letter.  For example, AO's are typed as A, BO's are typed as B.  That's
why, a mother and father can have several different children with differing
blood types because the "A" blood type passed on to the child might really
be "AO" and the "B" blood type passed on may really be "BO" blood type.

More than likely, with me and Sis. Treva, since we're both O+'s.  Our 
children are both O+'s as well because there's no A or B markers in our 
blood.

But when you have mothers and fathers with A and B blood, there's quite
a combination that can be contributed to produce varying results of the
child.  Because A's might contribute either the A or O marker, and the
B's might contribute a B or O marker.

This is from an article that explains it in a question and answer type
format found on the web (http://www.druginfonet.com/faq/faqbltyp.htm):

>>Question: How does it work when the mother has blood type A+, the 
father has father is B+, the son has O+, and the daughter has AB+?

Answer: Everyone has two different blood type markers with one each 
inherited from each parent. The most common are A, B, and O, although there 
are other markers, especially in other parts of the world. A and B are 
dominant, that is AO or AA is read as A , BO or BB is read as B and AB is 
read as AB. The only individuals who have O as a marker are OO . So , your 
mother is AO your father is BO. The son received one O from each and is OO, 
read as O. The daughter received A from mother, B from father and is AB. 
The plus marker is also dominant and each parent could be ++ or +- and 
the children could all be plus if they inherited one plus from either 
parent.

Blood type Question: What are the different blood types? How are they 
determined? How are they know to be "givers" or "acceptors" of each types 
Can only A give to A, etc.)? What are the universal donors and acceptors?

Answer: There are three blood types. These are A, B, and O. In addition, 
there is an additional antigen which marks the cells as either positive(+) 
or negative(-). In general, one receivers one set of markers from each 
parent and O is not expressed. That is if one parent contributes and A and 
one parent O. The child will be Type A (actually AO). If one parent 
contributes A and the other parent B, the child will be AB. Positive is 
also dominant. That is if either parent contributes +, the child will be 
plus. So, each child can be either +, -(plus), - , +(plus) +, +(plus) 
or -, -(negative). Having an antigen will cause a reaction. So, Type A 
cannot receive B or AB, but can receive type O. Also, positive can 
receive negative without a reaction, but not the other way around. Therefore, 
O negative is the universal donor and can be transfused to any blood group.
There is a rare type called O(h), Bombay which has A and B markers, but 
can't express the antigen due to an enzyme defect. These patients can only 
receive blood from another Bombay type-a, which is a very rare problem. 
Blood typing is very useful in paternity and identification testing. You 
can see that a child with O parents will only be O.<<

Now, knowing this, the only way that Jesus could have absolutely Holy 
blood (blood from God, untainted and unmingled with that of a human) would 
be possible when the Holy Ghost overshadowed Mary and he planted a fully 
fertilized embryo (egg-sperm combination) into Mary's womb.  Mary couldn't 
have contributed any genetic material to the offspring Jesus.  She couldn't 
have given a egg in the process and keep the blood absolutely pure.  It had 
to come completely from God.  Now, with that knowledge, it shows the absolute
miracle of the virgin birth!  Not that a woman hadn't been with a man to 
give birth (so much), but that she didnt' contribute anything (genetic) to 
create the child.  Basically, she became a surrogate mother as the Holy 
Ghost performed the test-tube baby implantation process.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Jesus didn't look anything
like his brothers and sisters or bear any family resemblance.
