[FRIAM] Friam Digest, Vol 190, Issue 1

[Nick Thompson]

Frank,

 

Just to be clear, if the fertilized egg from which he was spawned was from another woman, THAT woman would NOT be his biological mother? And the woman who nursed him and raised him after he was adopted at birth would not be his biological mother.  And yet the man whose sperm was used to fertilize the egg, WOULD be his biological father?  

 

What IS this biology business, anyway?  

 

Sorry.  Just being a horse’s ass. 

 

Nick

Or something like that.  I asked him how many biological mothers he had.
