Science Project Leads Student To Uncover Mother’s Decades-Long Lie

The secret that began to unfold in front of her made her look at her classmate with new eyes. Before today, the poor girl had no idea that her life had basically been one giant lie.

The entire room fell silent as waves of shock rippled through the classroom. The girl’s voice wavered as she realized that all her peers were there to bear witness to her darkest moment.

And to think that it had all begun with an innocent class experiment…

Anya Hettich

19-year-old Anya Hettich from San Bernadino was a student at California State University when something happened in the biology class that rocked her and the entire class’ world.

And, not considering the consequences of her actions, she decided to document the entire incident on Twitter. Soon, the entire world knew about the girl’s devastating discovery.

A Seemingly Ordinary Lesson

On that fateful day in late February 2018, the students in Anya’s biology class were learning about blood types. Their lecturer was explaining that blood types are genetically passed on from parent to child.

Anya enthusiastically took notes and absorbed everything the Professor had to tell her. To everyone in attendance that day, it seemed like an ordinary lesson. But it was far from it.

It Made No Sense

Anya’s classmate, Lydia, raised her hand, not realizing that the events that had been set in motion were about to shatter her life. She claimed that the lesson had made no sense to her and she was struggling to understand. Why?

Well, according to her, the genetic laws that they had just learned about just didn’t make sense…

Reasoning

The girl began to explain what the issue was in front of the entire class. She confidently reasoned that if her father’s blood type was O and her mother’s blood type was A, there was no way hers could be AB.

Lisa Johnson, the biology teacher, gently explained that what she’d just said was impossible. If her blood type was AB, it defied science…
