A brief note on today's daf: the rabbis discuss the status of a cesarean birth regarding sanctity. A cesarean birth is not considered to be normal. To discuss this point, the rabbis turn to their understanding of sanctified animals. A newborn carries the status of its mother. A cesarean-born newborn does not carry that sanctity.
Very interesting that travel through the vagina is necessary regarding status, both with ritual purity and with sanctity. Is this about what is "usual", or is this about some magic power held in the vagina?
