PSYCHIC POWERS AND STEM CELLS




   There are many superstiitons about the Caul, which is actually just the transparent placental membrane which sometimes covers the head of a baby when it is born.  In the Philippines, this is the prevailing belief:

   Babies born with a caul will manifest supernatural abilities and an open third eye (the ability to see ghosts).
  
   Many other cultures have attributed
strange powers to this membrane since time immemorial.  As the link shows, some seers practiced a form of divination with it, called Amniomancy.  It was said that a caul could prevent anyone from dying by drowning, so they were prized by sailors all over the world.  That cauls are considered lucky even among some superstition-scorning Christians is explained by the legend that even Jesus was born with one.
 

   Now, according to Medpundit, the Caul might very well turn out to have some miraculous properties after all; not by preventing drownings or bestowing magical abilities, but being the source of infinitely flexible stem cells that can turn into entire organs or tissues, thus sidestepping the issue of rejection which complicates transplants.  Countless lives could be saved or improved in the future.  This is certainly a viable option to all of us who strenuously object against the use of stem cells harvested from aborted fetuses.

   In a way, perhaps those seers and sailors knew what they were talking about after all.

Just interested to read about cauls. My dad was born with one. He is about to die, any time soon, and he tells us, when he dies it will turn black. Ever heard that before?

Great blog/site by the way :o)
