Most thoroughly investigated virgin birth
There have been many claims of virgin birth in human history, strong in legend (Greek
mythology, the Bible etc.)
and weak in the medical literature. In some rare cases a woman has carried part of her twin
around inside her and
subsequent "delivery" has created the illusion of virgin birth. In November 1955 the
"London Sunday Pictorial"
asked women to come forward who thought that there had been no father to their child.
Nineteen claims were
made to the newspaper and these were investigated. Eleven were negated in the initial enquiry
because the
mothers thought an intact hymen inevitably indicated a virgin conception. Finally the nineteen
cases were reduced
to one possible. Mrs. E. Jones and her daughter were subjected to further thorough
investigation. Their blood,
saliva and tasting powers were all examined, and attempts were made to graft skin from one to
the other. Blood,
saliva, and tasting powers were almost identical, but the grafts did not take. In June 1956 the
Sunday Pictorial
was prepared to state that, after six months of detailed medical investigation, the results were
consistent with a
case of virgin birth. Professor J. B. S. Haldane disagreed and argued that the evidence in fact
led to the opposite
conclusion - the child had a father.
