[QUOTE="Quid est Veritas?, post: 72091816, member: 385144"] What is a 'natural process'? Embryology is very complex. Smoking causing placental insufficiency is a natural response to smoke inhalation, but is of course a pathological process. Likewise, Rh sensitisation is natural, but we see it as pathological since it results in growth restriction and miscarriage. So we can interpret it as natural or as pathological, depending how fancy takes us. Pathology is an abstract term, that depends on context. Some argue Autism to be pathological, others a normal variant. It depends how we define Normal, before we can determine what deviates from it. In Embryology, normal development is usually based on a primigravid (ie first-time) mother, not exposed to teratogens with normal blood pressure and blood glucose. Based on that standard, we could certainly make the argument that an antibody in subsequent pregnancies that affects male brain development by decreasing the levels of a required protein, is pathological.
