Full Version: Iranian woman gives birth to frog

Is this a true story or just an exagerration?
"An Iranian newspaper has reported the controversial story of a woman who claims to have given birth to a frog. The Iranian daily Etemaad says the creature is believed to have grown from larva to an adult frog inside her body. While it is unclear how this could have happened, the paper carries quotes from medical experts who say there are human characteristics to the animal.
It has been speculated that the woman, who has not been named, unknowingly picked up the larva while she was swimming in a dirty pool. The woman, from the south-eastern city of Iranshahr, is a mother of two children. The "so-called frog", as the newspaper puts it, has yet to undergo precise genetic and anatomic tests. But it quotes clinical biology expert Dr Aminifard as saying: "The similarities are in appearance, the shape of the fingers and the size and shape of the tongue."

In June 2004 the Iranian daily Etemaad reported that an unnamed woman from the south-eastern city of Iranshahr had given birth to a frog. According to that paper, the woman's gynaecologist confirmed that the lady in question, whose period had stopped for six months, had undergone sonography in May which showed she had a cyst in her abdomen and that following severe bleeding, she gave birth to a live grey frog accompanied with mud.

Numerous news outlets subsequently carried the story, but in the manner of reporting that an Iranian paper had run the item, not as a confirmation of the facts of the account.

If the photo of the frog (as initially provided by the BBC — it was later stripped from their online article and replaced by a map of Iraq) was accurate, it disproved the theory that the purported mother of Kermit came by her amphibian pregnancy through having swum in or drunk frog spawn, because the lily pad jumper so pictured was of a species not native to Iran.

In any event, it was always a case of news outlets repeating a weird story that had come to them, not of vetting the tale's claims. Humans cannot give birth to frogs, or snakes, or fish, or lizards, or octopuses — our biology rules it out.





It's an Urban Legend, and it's false.

I read something about this before giving birth like that has to be impossible! I read some sick article somewhere though where a kid had some sort of bug in him and gave birth to them in his urine.....was real disgusting!

it's impossible for a human being to grow something else than a human being...

the "thing" that you would grow, would need food, vitamins and others alike to stay alive, and it is just not possible for human tissue to merge with frog tissue or whatever...

it's fake...

worms are parasites of the body, they have theyre purpose there. But frogs are not created to live inside your body. thumbsup.gif

How do legends like these keep spreading? It reminds me of the theory that living things could be created for inanimite objects.

The real question is the spiritual question.
The woman is Iranian. Is she Muslim?
If she is Muslim that leads to all kinds of questions:
Will she be killed for giving birth to a child that is obviously not her husband's?
And what of the child? What would be his place in Islamic society? Would he be deemed holy? Would he perhaps be used as the ultimate suicide bomber:
A roll of Black Cats shoved up his ass before he is lobbed at a Jewish cofee house?
I need answers!

Here is your answer

Muslims DON'T kill people for any kind of sin, except murder on an innocent person, she doesn't have sex withsomeone or something that's not her husband, she won't get lashed, in muslim belief, Mary doesn't have a husband, and she gave birth to Jesus, which clearly not her husband's, oh, and in Muslim belief, Jesus is a prophet

His place in the Islamic society would be a frog on the pond because his an animal, they don't get positions in the society

He wouldn't be deemed holy, it's also a sin, the only thing muslims praise is Allah the one and only God, deeming holy an animal, a statue, a book, or anything means betraying Him

Muslims don't use ultimate suicide bombers, and no muslim is a suicide bomber and no suicide bomber is a muslim mad.gif , because the Koran told us(I'm a muslim too) to be peaceful, and you saw the first answer, MURDER IS A SIN!!!
Suicide bombers misinterpret the word jihad, and so does the western world, jihad means fighting for God, not against the Jews, not against the Christians, but against himself or herself

Why do you ask such a question, did you watch FITNA? Fitna means slander, therefore that film is a slander

Muslims don't treat jews as pigs, or any other animal!!!

If you think about Palestine and Israel, it's the other way around
So shove your ass for asking that

No one said created, they said grow.

I read a story like this before, where the woman had some sexual relations with a frozen squid, it laid it's eggs inside the vaginal cavity and she latter had the baby squids because the vaginal cavity was the perfect conditions for the eggs to survive in, now this is very different from giving birth, and in my opinion i think if someone was EVER CRAZY, and uhm sexually frustrated enough to do such a thing I think it would be highly possible for the eggs to survive inside the vagina because the conditions that most sea/water dwelling animals like lizards snakes frogs squid leave their eggs in are very much like the accommodation's(i don't mean to make it sound like a hotel) would be in the womanly hood.
But did it ever happen, no probably not.

I've seen a video on napster back in the day that would give this thread a whole entirely different meaning, oh lord i'd get in a lot of trouble for going into explanations as i'll probably get in trouble for what I've already said, but please know I've tried my hardest to keep it clean and "professional" without going into major detail.

I hope I do not offend anyone!
