Wow, I didn’t know that an unfertized human egg could split into two before it was fertilized. Still learning something new every day.
Caused by global warming?
I have heard of the ovum splitting before fertilization which can then become fertilied by two different sperm.
Seems that I heard it a long time ago, too.
I’m hearing the voice of Rush Limbaugh saying “It means; She’s a Slut!” Remember the Sandra Fluke dramas of 2011?
He lost a lot of advertisers for that amusing remark.
“An ultrasound of the 28-year old mother at six weeks suggested the twins were identical...”
At only six weeks they can tell this? From my old science books I thought they were still “fish” with “gill slits” at that stage.
It’s only until they are born that you are certain it was a human in there. /s
BTW - we have identical twins, but never had them tested as such. (It was obvious, and no real need to.) I’m guessing that a lot of (most?) twins never get tested, so perhaps this is more common than they think??
Very interesting. Until recently, it would just have been assumed that any such cases were fraternal twins.
Is it a Feminazi scientist?
I remember reading of a similar case, in the newspapers, fifty years ago. the kicker was one twin was white, one was black. The newspapers had a field day speculating how many men she had “had” the day she became pregnant.
Never heard another word about it.
Aren’t the scientists jumping the gun a little?
I mean, have the two kids even decided what gender they want to be?
