She-ra Posted April 22, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2015 It was worrying: the young woman started having difficulty comprehending things she read and heard, and when many people were speaking in a room at once, she found it hard to understand what was happening.Doctors soon discovered a tumor in her brain. But when she underwent surgery, the surgeon found something startling. The tumor was actually the woman's "embryonic twin."

She-ra Posted April 24, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I came across this article today regarding the "embryonic twin": Although these tumors can originate during embryonic development, they aren't embryos, and they are not a person's "twin." They arise from germ cells, which are the cells that go on to later develop into a person's gametes (such as sperm and eggs). At early states, germ cells have the ability to turn into any cell in the body. This article goes on to say this should not be called a *twin* and elaborates on why.

Paranormalcy Posted April 26, 2015 #11 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I remember an old That's Incredible episode about a man who had a headache and went to a doctor and lo and behold, his twin had been growing inside his brain his whole life. I just looked it up and apparently that was bunk, as noted by this article here: https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1314&dat=19801231&id=ScopAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Xe4DAAAAIBAJ&pg=2541,6829326&hl=en But apparently this CAN be thing after all, so ... interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
