Of course they do have some features that resemble. I am a Catholic and yes it is against the church for IVF and also she married a twice divorced man and that too is against the church - you can say that she sinned.

I don't care what the Identigene ad had to say about it. Two brownies can make a blue. To get brown you need only one brown gene since it is dominant so any brown eyed person you know may actually be harboring a secret blue eyed gene and this is the case quite often actually. It would be noted as Bb. A blue eyed person requires two blue eyed genes as it is the recessive trait and you need two recessives. They are noted as bb. A double dominant brown is BB. So, if a Bb procreated with another Bb, there is a 25% chance that the child will have bb, making it a true blue eyed child. Period. End of story. I have a case of this in my own family. There are plenty of Syrians and other people of middle eastern descent with blue eyes. None of this proves that a sperm or egg donor wasn't used but it certainly doesn't prove that it was used either. Such an old thread but I have to weigh in.

You guys need to look at it again. When you do brown, any color of brown, for both parents, blues are not excluded, just not as likely. Please stop fussing and just read the text instead of looking at the pictures and making assumptions. I am predominately Native American, and have very dark eyes, my ex-husband has light brown eyes, and both of our children have blue eyes. The odds of us having a blue eyed child, with us both carrying the blue recessive, which we must be to have had a blue eyed child at all, are one in four. If I could I would put up a simple chart to demonstrate this for you here. The chart I use, by the way, was created by Gregor Mendel, who is cited on the identagene page. If you enter two brown eyed (dark or light brown or any combination of the two) parents and any other color of eyes for the child this is the text result you get at identagene: Summary: The Alleged Father is NOT EXCLUDED from being the biological father of the child because the eye color of the Alleged Father is CONSISTENT with the Child. Your will get the same results if you enter one blue eyed parent and a parent with any color of brown eyes. If you read below that and above the eye pictures it says the highlighted eyes are the most likely colors to occur, but not the only ones, however that is only for at least one brown eyed parent, when you do both blue eyed parents you get very different results. While I didn’t run every combination, I did run enough to hopefully end this argument, now all be nice. Ok folks, I have run the eye color test several times. You guys need to look at it again.

As a female Catholic, I just ignore some of the idiotic beliefs they say I should ad hear to. I'm sure she will be going to hell for IVF, but I guess I'll see her there, because I voted for Obama.

I mean, it's pretty hard to see the color on here and unless you've actually got a look at this boy in person...? It's possible his eyes are actually some sort of hazel blue and they change color sometimes. I have hazel-green eyes and people have actually thought they were blue, green, blue-green, and light brown at times. Depends on what I'm wearing and the lighting and everything. It is possible to have a blue eyed baby with 2 brown eyed parents. I've seen it myself, as did other people on here. How does anyone even know his eyes are really that blue?

You can make your eyes darker this way. I always wear sunglasses to keep my eyes as light and aquatic looking as possible. True!

Regarding eye color. Forget just about everything you learned in biology class about inheriting eye color - scientists have discovered that some varieties of the eye color gene for blue, green and brown eyes don't follow the dominant/recessive rules we were taught in school. (Yes, those same eye color rules that had us wondering why and how OUR SIBLINGS could have an eye color that didn't follow the eye color rules in the science book!!) Wonder no more. Biology Professor Winkle, bless his heart, was wrong. Two blue eyed people can have a brown eyed child. And I'm talking two people with light, grey blue eyes CAN make a child who has dark brown eyes like an Italian child. I've seen it and I know there was no hanky panky on anyone's part. It's just crazy genetics. My good friend growing up, looked like a perfect mix of her mother and father, but both her parents had dark brown eyes, and hers were light blue. She was their biological child, even though our science teacher told us it couldn't happen. How heartbreaking that was, back in 1976. And of course, you didn't talk back to the teacher then, did you? She just sat there, embarassed, as the teacher explained that it wasn't possible that they were her parents, being both brown eyed, and she blue eyed. Freaking ridiculous, but science teachers didn't know any better. And frankly, those are the basic rules of dominant/recessive in many situations in nature, but not always, and particularly not necessarily regarding eye color. And for God's sakes, someone sue that stupid Identigene company for misleading so many people with their "baby's eye color can disprove paternity" test. According to that test, both of my children were not fathered by my husband, their biological father!! Shame on Identigene for false and dangerously misleading advertising that has caused many a family fight, I'm sure. I have dark brown eyes, my husband light blue, and both our children have light blue eyes. Not possible according to Identigene. Go ahead, take the test yourself and see. But I know it is possible. Shame on Identigene! I think the boy looks a tremendous amount like his Dad.
