Noteworthy

Another "virgin" birth occurred in the shark world. Simplified, it's the process of the egg splitting, and reforming, without the addition of any male sperm, and then forming a new viable being. Several species do this normally, some do this only in times of duress. I'm sure I'm going to get in trouble, but, given the duress that women have been under for so many eons (need we really bring up the words such as Clitorectomy or Palin?)....one might point to Mary and wonder if she was the first woman recorded to have a "virgin" birth in the human species. Perhaps woman have done this before, and could maybe do this again. Hard to say, but I did find the point noteworthy; and perhaps hopeful, on so many levels.
