It is a bit implausible because the scenario seems to require something blown in the wind impregnating a woman, via undergarments, to make a "corn baby." I just think that seems very unlikely if not weird. It also seems unlikely to me that the "corn baby" would just be like a baby, but with green ears and corn hair or something.
Still the point is a human with some plant DNA aspects and whether they could receive sacraments. I don't really know the answer though. I think they'd need to be mostly human or at least sentient/sapient. (Or capable of maturing into sentience/sapience) I generally think you have to be capable of a relationship with God for the issue to matter. If the child is (I almost said "a vegetable" but that's obviously too pun-oriented) permanently at a state of awareness equivalent to a plant or even a lower animal than it would likely not make sense.
That’s true, the real thing would probably be more deliberate-
If they used vegetable DNA to accomplish this, then I'm getting in line! I'd love to be young again.
Scientists claim to be a step closer to reversing the aging process after rejuvenating worn out organs in elderly mice. The experimental treatment developed by researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, turned weak and feeble old mice into healthy animals by regenerating their aged bodies.

Morality question: Would a partly human baby (with some plant DNA) be eligible to receive the sacraments of your church?
It would have to look at least partly human. Anything that looks like something from a David Cronenberg movie would probably cause the congregation to flee in terror. Seriously, no freaks.

Although I agree too much of it "Seriously, no freaks" could be taken as a tad unfair.
I'm pretty certain "freaks" have been allowed to partake of sacraments. I haven't looked into the religious make-up of past freak-show members, but I'd think at least some of them were of sacramental churches. (People like me were sometimes deemed "frog men" because of our loose joints and deformities) In fact I think I recall one who was Russian Orthodox and probably one who was, or became, Catholic. I know Mexico has some of those "hairy children" (covered in hair like cousin It or a werewolf) so they might be Catholic.
It is the Adam spirit which makes a soul human. Only human beings can be saved and are written in the book of Life from the foundation of the world.
Any mixture using Adam flesh DNA and any other thing spliced into the genes is not human, and is called a "bastard" in God's word, and is not of Adam by not having the spirit, soul and body of an Adam seed.

Hello yeshuasavedme, that's a interesting post even more so considering you have stated in the past here on the forum Biblically Adam was white and Eve was black.

I assume then that when intelligent life is found on other planets, they will not be eligible for heaven.
