Parasitic Twins. Hope No Repost.
I hope this is not a repost. If it is. Please forgive me. A parasitic twin (also known as an asymmetrical or unequal conjoined twin) is the result of the processes that produce vanishing twins and conjoined twins, and may represent a continuum between the two. Parasitic twins occur when a twin embryo begins developing in utero, but the pair does not fully separate, and one embryo maintains dominant development at the expense of the other. Unlike conjoined twins, one ceases development during gestation and is vestigial to a mostly fully formed, otherwise healthy individual twin. The undeveloped twin is defined as parasitic, rather than conjoined, because it is incompletely formed or wholly dependent on the body functions of the complete fetus. The independent twin is called the autosite.  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |

Re: Parasitic Twins. Hope No Repost.
God did not do this all the diseases and sickness on earth are from the de I can't even spell it and its up to us to prove the Evil side wrong and stay on the strate and narrow. but I am not here to argu religion. I do not go to church I am not a "bible thumper" I just believe in the Good Lord. Any how I wonder this parasitic twins some on the pictures you have to wonder? Do the feel I know they survive from the "Normal" twins blood supply but I have see videos of them moving and blinking such forth. How do Doctors know for sure if they do not feeel pain or not. I understand if its only a pair of legs or a arm but some have heads and a chest but not limbs like the little girl in the pic how do Doctors know this is not a form not of Fetus in fetus but for the extreme cases like I mentioned about conjioned twins? Just a Though  |

Re: Parasitic Twins. Hope No Repost.
The poor little girl in the second last photo's twin smiled, made noises, and suckled as a small child of her age would. To me that means that, that twin was alive. By taking away the parasitic twin, the other one with no body automatically died. It's very sad. |
