CLONING & TEST TUBE BABY PRACTICES DURING MAHABHARATA TIMES

The science of cloning and test-tube baby was known to Mahabharata age (3000 BC), and the Kauravas "were products of a technology that modern science has not even developed yet".

The epic Mahabharata describes Gandhari as a mother of 100 sons who were called Kauravas, the eldest of them being Dhuryodhana.
"No woman can give birth to 100 children in her lifetime, that too all males and of the same age," B G Matapurkar, a surgeon with the Maulana Azad Medical College in New Delhi told the conference organised by the southern chapter of the All India Biotech Association.

 
Matapurkar, who holds a US patent on organ regeneration technique that he developed 10 years ago, said that he was thrilled when he stumbled on a verse in Mahabharata under the chapter Adiparva that actually describes how the Kauravas were created from a single embryo from Gandhari.
He said that according to the description in Mahabharata, the Kauravas were created by splitting the single embryo into 100 parts and growing each part in a separate kund or container.

 
"In other words," Matapurkar said, "they not only knew about test-tube babies and embryo spliting but also had the technology to grow human foetuses outside the body of a woman-someting that is not known to modern science," he added.

Parwati developed lord Ganesh with her ear wax remained a vidhya up-till recent past but we know now that ear wax contain epithelial cells and clones can be produced with epithelial cells though human clones are still to be developed.

Parasher was borne after eleven years of his fathers death was a vidhya those days and more over Parasher was borne to his grand mother[though the descriptions are not very clear in Mahabharat]. Now a days it is achieved as the Zygotes are kept in deep freezer and may be implanted in the uterus of surrogate mother . This surrogate mother may be a grand mother of the zygote implanted. So it is a reality now a days.

The story whether true or imaginary is of Puranic origin means about at-least two thousand years old. But imaginations of that time can not be so complex and so similar to the present day 'Scientific-truths'.
