Oh, and I have a question... we heard Juliet talk about Sabine last night, haven't we heard of Sabine before? But where? Did Colleen talk about her before she was killed?

doesn't seem like there have been any other references to her, at least according to Lostpedia:

Sabine - Lostpedia

Weren't there calves (baby cows) at the Flame?? If so,does this work only on humans??

Yeah logan. And i think that is all the more reason for Henry Gale to have lied to Juliet about it. So he kept here there. I am sure Sabine was once like alex... but alex pre-Carl as he is LOCO!

Peg... good point.

either the cows are just that awesome and resilient. I FULLY AGREE!

or

for those out there who like the illogical... the cows were smokey, spying on the Losties/Patchy... cuz he totally does that all the time ( sarcasm )

Ok I was wondering about this too and you guys seem to ahve come up with the best explanation - that if you concieve pre-island then your baby is fine. This was kinda hinted at by Juliet in flashback, and it seems she was right. As for Ben, he coulda been born outside the island (to avoid him and his mother's death) and moved there very young.

As for the calves and the baby boar and all other wildlife on the island?? Maybe it's a human specific condition :S

queenbee - hazzard, I agree with you. It's like the island stops all "foreign growth," and doesn't seem to differentiate beneficial from malignant. Though that doesn't explain Ben's tumor.

Maybe when Ben Linus had Rachel's cancer healed, whatever power was preventing him from getting cancer was "used" on her and thereby exposed him now to getting a tumor (kind of think "Green Mile" and John Coffey), which btw is one of the very few Stephen King references I have. Remember what Juliet said after Ben Linus said "I have cancer?' Juliet replied, "No, I said you have a tumor." But I still don't think that this means that Ben is benevolent (but John Coffey was) or that Ben is good.
