Way too freaky.

Strange! I never heard of such a thing, but I guess it's possible. Fused twins. So the twin that did not develop lives on in her sister's children?

[Lucy Lake]

Pinging you to an article about DNA.

Wow. There was a girl in high school that had two viginas. She said she could have sex yet still be a virgin. She would be right. She could save the other one for her wedding night, I guess.

As a Catholic, this makes me wonder about the "ensouled at conception" idea. Does this woman have two souls?

[Junior]

Y'all might find this interesting. P_W, this one might bother you in the same manner it bothers me, which is why I pinged you. You might have insights into this I don't.

Uh oh...I'm not sure how, but I'm betting defense attorneys can somehow use this to refute DNA evidence

[facedown]

Some people will believe anything.

And even more incredibly she is NOT the biological mother of two of the children she conceived and had naturally.

Dr Kruskall said the discovery meant there could be many more mums and dads who have no idea they are not their kids’ biological parents.

Those are both ridiculous statements. Even if she has two different kinds of DNA, she is still the biological mother.

I recall reading of this in the late 1980s. Described almost exactly the same way.

Twins in reverse.

I had a friend (she's the daughter of a VERY famous now deceased magazine journalist) who was experiencing very bad stomach pains. When they went in they found the skull of her unborn twin attached to her ovary.

What's the big deal? Howard Dean admits to being metrosexual, which is two different people of opposite sexes in one body.

When you tell him to go scr*w himself, he says, "Thank you."

It's a wise child that knows its own mother.
