[DIYbio] DNA Double Take - NY Times

>Women can also gain genomes from their children. After a baby is born, 
it may leave some fetal cells behind in its mother's body, where they 
can travel to different organs and be absorbed into those tissues. 

Someone mentioned not to play around with one's own stem cells because exactly this could happen :D

On the other hand, in that case it still are not yor cells, but your childs. That may make the difference why it rather does not evolve into cancer? The ommune system may rather fight your childs cells than yours. On the other hand, how can they even survive then?
