THE AMERICAN WOMAN WHO BEGETS EIGHT TWINS
Scientists consider this phenomenon as the strangest , but as Muslims we say that
Allah almighty is the one who knows what is in the wombs and He is the
one who creates whatever He wants …
Allah almighty says: “He it is Who shapes you in the wombs as He
pleases” (Sûrat Al-Imrân- verse 6), as Allah shapes the embryo in the
shape He almighty likes to shape and no one can involve in such very
sophisticated processes despite the high development in the science of
medicine as any human involvement will definitely leads to the deformity of the embryo as happens in the unsuccessful human tries in the field
of cloning.
But , between time to time some strange events
happen to enforce us to think to realize the greatness of Allah
Almighty, when American woman begets eight twins as doctors believed
that she will only get seven.
Twins are six boys each of them weight between800gr to 1.5 Kg and they are in a good health in the
Incubators after a caesarean surgery in “Caesar hospital” in California.
Despite that three of them needed Respirator but all of them are in a
good health. The woman entered the hospital in the 23th week and stayed
in the hospital for seven weeks.
In the hospital she was under
the direct medical care of 46 doctor and nurse as they were ready for
the delivery at any time when she gave birth nine weeks before the
scheduled time. Dr. Harold Henry the chief of the new born babies
section in the hospital said that knowing the right number of twins in
the womb was very difficult and he also said that: it is easy to make
such mistake but it is really hard to predict that number of twins.
Doctors say that the mother is in a good health and the first week is so critical for the twins.
Here, we have to mention that the first case for delivering eight twins was in 1998 in the city of Huston- Texas- USA where one of those twins
died but the other seven still alive and now they are ten years old.
AN ETHICAL DISPUTE CONCERNING THE DELIVERING OF EIGHT TWINS
Today, there are some news about the involvement of the Centre of
artificial insemination especially the same mother has another six
children, the mother’s father stated that she intended to get another
one baby not eight babies.
The mother of that woman also stated that her daughter had got a treatment using the artificial insemination technique.
Sara Rosenthal a Professor of Bioethics In the faculty of medicine in
Kentucky University says: “what happened is considered to be unethical
and it shouldn’t happen”
Doctors say that begetting high number of babies is endangering the life of the mother and the babies by many
diseases such as Haemorrhage , and many troubles in the Intestine and
also Growth retardation.
Robert George from Princeton University says: in Germany, only three embryos are allowed at the same time.
Hence, the most important question: did the doctors who supervised the
artificial insemination investigate the mother about the reason behind
her desire for getting another baby as she already has another seven?
COMMENT
My beloved, do you believe that the doctors in USA do not know the
number of twins in the womb of women in spite of the evolution of
medicine! Therefore Allah Almighty says: “Allah knows what every female
(womb) bears, and by how much the wombs fall short (of their time or
number) or do exceed. Every single thing is before His sight, in (due)
proportion * All-Knower of the Unseen and the seen .the Most Great. The
Most High” Ar-RA’D.VERSE(8-9). So, doctors confirm that knowing the
right number is very difficult especially in the case of large number of embryos.
But doctors are surprised and called this case “a
nature miracle” but we as Muslims consider it as a divine miracle to
realize the power of the Blessed, Almighty Creator, who say to us: “To
Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He creates what He wills, He bestows females upon whom he wills, and bestows males upon whom he wills * Or He makes them couples, males and females, and He
leaves barren whom He will: for He is full of Knowledge and
Power”[Shura: 49-50]. Here, we remember these noble verses as Allah
Almighty says: “So (it will be) for Allah creates what He wills. When He has decreed something He says to it only:”Be!”- and it is” [Al-Emran,
verse 47].And also He Almighty says : ”And your Lord creates whatsoever
He wills and chooses: no choice have they .Glorified is Allah ,and
exalted above all the partners they ascribe (to Him)”[Al-Qasas, verse
68]also: “and We cause whom We will to remain in the wombs for an
appointed term” [Al-Hajj,verse5].
We would like to say that
people resort to artificial insemination and keeping themselves away
from their nature always leads to serious consequences.
My
beloved, you can notice with me that the scientists are unable to
control the conduct of operations in the womb of women although the high development in the medicine field.
For that, how atheists claim that the blind nature, by chance can create a child that can hear and see?
