Dad Learns That Unborn Twin 'Fathered' His Son

I'm in legit tears

the dad was a “human chimera” who had soaked up the genes of a twin that perished in the womb, then passed them on to the son.

what kind of sci fi shyt is this

Creepy part is that scientists think at least 1 out of 8 people born started out being a twin pregnancy. Meaning you shared a womb with a sibling until their half of the pregnancy failed. Then you probably absorbed whatever was left of them. Probably still at the blastocyst or zygote phase but still creepy as hell to me.

Some of y'all here started out as twins
Most chimera are never detected.

Put another way, the chimera is formed from the merging of two nonidentical twins (although a similar merging presumably occurs with identical twins, but as their DNA is almost identical, the presence would not be immediately detectable in a very early (zygote or blastocyst) phase). As such, they can be male, female, or have mixed intersex characteristics.

As the organism develops, it can come to possess organs that have different sets of chromosomes.

Most chimeras will go through life without realizing they are chimeras. The difference in phenotypes may be subtle (e.g., having a hitchhiker's thumb and a straight thumb, eyes of slightly different colors, differential hair growth on opposite sides of the body, etc.) or completely undetectable. Chimeras may also show, under a certain spectrum of UV light, distinctive marks on the back resembling that of arrow points pointing downwards from the shoulders down to the lower back; this is one expression of pigment unevenness called Blaschko's lines.[8]

Affected persons may be identified by the finding of two populations of red cells or, if the zygotes are of opposite sex, ambiguous genitalia and intersexalone or in combination; such persons sometimes also have patchy skin, hair, or eye pigmentation (heterochromia). If the blastocysts are of opposite sex, genitals of both sexes may be formed: either ovary and testis, or combined ovotestes, in one rare form of intersex, a condition previously known as true hermaphroditism.

Note that the frequency of this condition does not indicate the true prevalence of chimerism. Most chimeras composed of both male and female cells probably do not have an intersex condition, as might be expected

Natural chimeras are almost never detected unless they exhibit abnormalities such as male/female or hermaphrodite characteristics or uneven skin pigmentation.

The existence of chimerism is problematic for DNA testing, a fact with implications for family and criminal law. The Lydia Fairchild case, for example, was brought to court after DNA testing apparently showed that her children could not be hers. Fraud charges were filed against her and her custody of her children was challenged. The charge against her was dismissed when it became clear that Lydia was a chimera, with the matching DNA being found in her cervical tissue. Another case was that of Karen Keegan, who was also suspected (initially) of not being her children's biological mother, after DNA tests on her adult sons for a kidney transplant she needed seemed to show she wasn't their mother.[1][9]

What kind of M Night Shyamalan plot twist is this?

this is too good for m night shyamalan

 

[GYAAAL YA PUM PUM FAT!]

He thought it was over....

He thought he had won the sperm battle in the womb; that he was the lone victor....

...but then, decades later......his twin came back with a vengeance, on some

 

[The ADD]

These replies

I love this place

 

[havoc]

The dead twin got his ghost nut and made his his bro raise the seed

 

[Kalik]

So you can nut dna that aint yours?

nikka could be fukkin mad chicks and passing DNA tests left and right

 

[Birnin Zana]

I ain't gone lie. Somebody explain this shyt for a slow nikka from down south

Just reading the thread title has me scratching my head:WHAT!:, I'm gonna need someone to explain this pregception shyt properly

Long story short:

-When the Husband was conceived by his parents, he was supposed to have a twin. The twin never fully materialized. Hence, the twin was "unborn."

-Nevertheless, some of the genetic material of the Twin went to the Husband. So genetically, he had some of his Twin literally in him. The Husband obviously had no idea about this.

-Husband and his wife try to conceive a child, with the help of a fertility clinic. It just so happened that the particular nut they used from the husband to make it happen had genetic material from the unborn Twin, NOT the Husband.

(I'm still like about that shyt).

-Thus, when that child was born, the child is actually the Husband's nephew, and that the unborn Twin is actually that child's father.

-Husband finds out that he and the child have different blood types, which, if the Husband was actually the father, shouldn't happen. He hits up the clinic. The clinic be like " We didn't fukk up, every thing is straight."

The husband then hits up a Genealogist who does an Ancestry test. From there, the genealogist learns the truth, and tells the Husband that he's actually the Child's uncle

Maury gotta start doing Paternity shows with seances now

 

[The ADD]

So do you ever tell the kid that

 

[havoc]

This story is fukking crazy.

 

[GYAAAL YA PUM PUM FAT!]

Maury gotta start doing Paternity shows with seances now

I remember a Maury episode where a breh suspected his identical twin of getting his girl pregnant, so they both took a DNA test....Maury later informed the audience that there was no way to determine via DNA which one of them was the father, since BOTH results listed each one as the father....

I was like when I saw that shyt

 

[Birnin Zana]

So what he's two different people?

Technically?
