Without the genetic map of the woman who gave birth to her, she is doomed
Daniela Molinari, 48, was abandoned as a child in a Como hospital. She is now suffering from a tumor and her only hope for life comes from experimental treatment, in which it is necessary to do a genetic test on her birth mother.
Without the genetic map of the woman who gave birth to Daniela at the age of 19 at Sant’Ante Hospital in Como and gave it up, her treatment could not even begin. The child was once transferred to an orphanage and at the age of two was adopted by a married couple from Milan.
Daniela has been undergoing a real Golgotha for months. A team of the Juvenile Court, which seeks to ensure respect for the constitutional rights of both women, the biological mother and her daughter, is trying to do everything possible to help one and ensure the anonymity of the other.
Daniela’s mother, who lives in a small village in the province of Lario, near Lake Como, initially strongly opposed appeals for a blood test. That would be enough to make a genetic map and help Daniela. The 48-year-old woman even appealed through interviews in Corriere della Sera and Republika, as this is the only spark of hope for her. There are many in Italy
shocked by
hardness of heart
and the lack of
humanity y
the biological mother,
even without knowing its history.
Daniela herself is a psychologist by profession and cares for young people with mental disorders in an association. The mother has two children and no time to lose because the tumor in her breast is in a very advanced and aggressive stage. The experimental treatment she can try is her last hope.
“Please think about it. By refusing to undergo a blood test, you condemn me and my two daughters, one of whom is only 9 years old. You condemn a whole family “, Daniela calls her biological mother through the media.
No one can understand the mother’s attitude in this life and death situation, although her anonymity is guaranteed. No one can imagine that the baby she left in the hospital hours after birth could be the result of violence and rape. Therefore, even if she does not want to have anything more to do with this child, for her everything related to him is a painful memory.
“I wonder how you can fall asleep at night, how you can live with the thought that you refused to do a blood test in complete anonymity, which will not change anything in your life, but
would allow on
to raise me
Your 9-year-old
daughter who has
mother’s right “,
Daniela cries in her open letter.
During the lockdown period during the pandemic, she hopes for the last turn in a woman’s attitude towards the child she gave birth to, despite the cruel story that led to it.
Eventually, months later, the mother agreed to undergo genetic testing. For Daniela, this means a sigh of relief and hope for a cure.
Which are the most common diseases that a woman inherits from his biological mother?
1. Osteoporosis is related to age. It is a progressive metabolic disease of the skeleton. As a result of the destruction of the collagen matrix, the bones become thinner and lose their density. They become more fragile and this can lead to frequent fractures.
2. Premature aging – According to scientists, a set of genes is “responsible” for how long our youth can be. It is transmitted through the female line. The daughter can inherit damaged DNA so she can age much faster.
3. Depression – in women it is present twice as much as in men, and it becomes chronic. It can be passed on genetically, especially the so-called postpartum depression.
4. Cardiovascular diseases – in women the risk is twice as high as in men. And the excess cholesterol that is deposited in the coronary arteries, leading to a stroke or heart attack, is genetically transmitted.
5. Hemicrania it is also genetically transmitted.
6. Alzheimer’s disease – It is much more common in women than in men. No drug has yet been found to fight the disease, but it can certainly be delayed with appropriate behavior and habits if its presence in the mother is known.
7. Cancer of the breast and ovaries.
