Married Twins - Page 2

My friend told me about this, and I couldn't help but feel sympathy for the two. But their connection was probably a sisterly/brotherly one. They maybe thought that the connection, which is so unique, was miraculous. But it's so unlikely that love between two people is like that. It's a fairy tale love really... But they didn't know what else it could be, so they wanted to hold on to something special. It still is special and, even though they're brother and sister, they should make sure to keep in close contact! It might be painful, but they should realise that their connection was there because they were twins.

I don't see why incest has to be seen as sinful in those cases! They didn't know what was happening before falling in love. Sure, it might seem wrong to some, but they didn't knowingly enter into such a relationship with family. Eh, it'd be something hard to tell kids though...

Hmm... maybe its only in certain states then...

The problem with incest is that if you have children is can cause problems. There is a higher chance of your child either being deformed or inheriting an unpleasant gene. Like if your family carried the HD gene and there is a 50% chance of inheriting it from one parent, well if your parents are siblings and they both carry the gene then there is pretty much a 100% chance that you will have HD.

(Or something like that, I'm no geneticist)

...yet if Adam and Eve were the first man and woman, the Bible left out thousands of years of incest.

But yes, I agree that when adopting children, one should adopt the twins/triplets/etc. together instead of separating them. As it is, the adopted child would realize that they are different from their parents or from whatever siblings they wander around with. If the twins were adopted together, at least it would've given them someone to remain close with growing up.

hmm the bibles not exactly 100% accurate, yet you are right as all people of the same race are related, just not very much.

thats why its illegal.

take the russian royal family, some of the men had hemophilia becuase of incest.

i agree with that too as a rule, yet some families may not be able to support twins/triplets ect, or one of the siblings may have a negative effect on the other/s, so they may have to be sepparated, but i think that they should be told who their adopted sibling is in future to stop things like this happening again

Hopefully they didn't become too physical in their more...intimate relationship.

That is definitely a shame. Can you imagine the shock that would ensue after learning your spouse is actually your sibling...

I doubt they'll be laughing at that later on in life.

God.. how tragic and unlikely.

After hearing about things like this, I sure hope that it means that there is more information on siblings who are adopted. It's pretty cruel to separate twins at birth aswell, given that they can often show signs of relating to one another in the womb.
How traumatising though to find out the person you have fallen in love with is your own brother or sister >.< Sure, they never grew up together so wouldn't have that relationship, but it's still a really sick concept..

I read somewhere once about a man who owned a sperm clinic and was arrested for donating all of the sperm himself. That's really disgusting.. in 20 or so years time half-brothers and sisters could be getting together and.. procreating. o.O

Well, I think that if a family cannot support twins/triplets then it would make more sense to, ya know.. adopt a single-birth child?

It's really really tragic, because they must have been in love with each other and if they were married they would have obviously had sex with each other, and now they have to live with that fact for the rest of their lives, I just feel so sorry for them.

Apparently, scientists say they would have felt attracted to each other straight away because they would have noticed the similarities they share.

I think that this just shows that if you're adopting, twins must be adopted together.

QFT.

The only thing that stops that possibility is being brought up together.

I always believed that siblings should be adopted together.

That would have made sense, I mean fancy seperating twins it's ait heratless. Im sure there would have been a family out there taht would have loved to adopt twins. Woulda saved this mess they ended up in
