A PRIMORDIAL CRY FOR HELP “MOM. MOM, MOM.’

GEORGE FLOYD, TYRE NICHOL

When I saw the videos of police restraining and viciously beating two unarmed men, and hear their primordial cry help for their mother, on separate occasions, I was outraged and deeply saddened. I do not know what’s wrong with police in this country, but I know why these two unfortunate men called for their mothers help before their death.

I believe the reason for this type of call from our mothers is genetically ingrained in all of us. Because, as we will see, mothers are genetically much more important and stronger than fathers.

A fathers’ role in having a child is only limited to delivering a sperm to fertilize the egg. The rest depends on the mother’s egg. The contains not only X chromosome, but also mitochondrial chromosome which help to create energy producing minute subcellular structures in every cell that is necessary for life. Fathers do not have mitochondrial genes. Without mothers, the male species could not exist.

Eggs, in addition contain necessary nutrients to feed the embryo, helping the embryo to attach itself in the lining of the uterus, to form placenta and many new blood vessels to supply mother’ blood to feed the fetus during the entire course of pregnancy.

After the birth, a natural birth is preferred during which a helpful microbiome population is passed to the child to help to digest mother’s milk, and to develop child’s immune system. After birth, the mother continues to care, to feed, to protect, and to raise her baby with tender loving care of motherhood.

All these aspects of mother’s care are ingrained in a child for their lifetime. That is why, I believe, we all call our mothers for help when our life is endangered. We want a spiritual connection with our mothers before we die.
