May 7, 2007: Identical twins not identical
 

http://cellar.org/2007/twins-not-quite-identical.jpg

the Daily Mail has the full story of these guys, identical twins born at the same time. It turns out to be a case of twin to twin transfusion, where one twin sends blood to the other through a common placenta.

In this case the problem was detected at 15 weeks, so early that the second very-medical link doesn't even put it in the category of 'severe'. It's a complication that endangers both twins; the donor twin is usually anemic, and the recipient has excess red blood cells and jaundice. But the story says both have shown a will to live, even at their tiny age and size.

The smaller one looks totally conscious and downright smart.

He's looking at the big guy and thinking...


...greedy bastard.

Guess which one is gonna grab the bigger tit.

My First Post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHAHAHHAAHHAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! :eek:

I can only hope the parents name them Julius & Vincent or (Arnold & Danny).

Ok, ok, I read the article, the parents blew it. Shame! :headshake

I read the first article -- did I miss something? What did they screw up?

They named the kids Byron and Lincoln...they screwed up, IMHO :)

He's plotting revenge.

Welcome to the Cellar, A Blind Man. :D
It won't seem so perverted next time. It will be, it just won't seem so.

:rolleyes:

This is a toughie. Very few of the "donor twin" make it. They can diagnose this problem in utero and then the parents have the agonizing decision of which twin should be saved--many times if they try to save one, they both die. Is very sad. I hope that little guy makes it.


as an aside--i cannot imagine having to decide between two offspring OR endure that both may die. This is human sadness at it's apex. :(

You won't want to rent this movie, then.

Am I the only one that was saddened by this?

No It appears Brianna is sad too.:3_eyes::eyeball: :rattat: :sadsperm: :f35: :f196: :f25: :f175: Somebody slap my hand.

Fantastic :D
