Quelle famille

Au Japon, une femme d'une cinquantaine d'années a accouché de l'enfant de sa fille.

Elle s'est fait implanter un ovule provenant de sa propre fille et fécondé par le sperme du mari de cette dernière.

Décidément, on n'arrête pas le progrès…

Les bulletins d'infos n'indiquent pas le sexe de cet enfant. Mais disons que c'est une fille.

Imaginez les permutations généalogiques…

La femme qui a accouché (la mère porteuse) est à la fois la mère ET la grand-mère de cette petite fille.
La petite fille en question est la SOEUR de sa mère biologique!!!!
Si la mère biologique a une soeur, cette femme est à la fois la tante et la soeur de l'enfant.
Si la mère porteuse avait un fils, cet homme serait à la fois le frère ET l'oncle de la jeune fille!!!

Quand plus tard, la petite fille se mariera, son époux deviendra le beau-frère de sa belle-mère, et le gendre de la grand-mère de sa femme! (Vous me suivez?)

Ça me fait penser aux paroles de la chanson humoristique I'M MY OWN GRANDPA:

"It sounds funny, I know,
But it really is so,
Oh, I'm my own grandpa.
I'm my own grandpa.
I'm my own grandpa.

It sounds funny, I know,
But it really is so,
Oh, I'm my own grandpa.

Now many, many years ago, when I was twenty-three,
I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red.
My father fell in love with her, and soon they, too, were wed.

This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life,
My daughter was my mother, cause she was my father's wife.
To complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy,
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.

My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad,
And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad.
For if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother
Of the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my stepmother.

Father's wife then had a son who kept him on the run,
And he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter's son.
My wife is now my mother's mother, and it makes me blue,
Because, although she is my wife, she's my grandmother, too.

Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild,
And everytime I think of it, it nearly drives me wild,
For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa!

I'm my own grandpa.
I'm my own grandpa.
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so,
Oh, I'm my own grandpa."
