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?

From a DNA perspective you are correct.

In a sense, neither twin "did not develop" -- they *both* developed, just as different "stripes" of tissue in the resulting adult.

Pretty amazing isn't it? An unborn person whose DNA is still preserved. Makes you wonder. DNA technology is fairly new. Who knows how often it may have actually occurred. Most people would have never had reason to know, and until recently it would have been impossible to tell anyway.
