You pose an important question in lue of socity changing through birth and birth right . we as a society are changing the makeup of nature through invetro infertalization in some cases . Splitting the Gene pool for another , Cloning and the like of such .
Being that ,matrilineal , means the following ,female: describes the line of genealogical relationship or descent that follows the female side of a family. Can also refer to royalty , like birth right .
While I do not agree with the above , cloning and the like , being that there are people who have been cloned per say , surrogate babies . I personaly belive that they are still Gods Children . As far as ther liniage , I would have to go with whom ever bore the child would be their natural mother ... In the eyes of God , He says linage does not matter . Your Faith Matters .
Thanks for the Question Love and light Dana
