EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

That's really sad.

That sucks. At least they know why they got along so well.

ewwww!!!

but how very strange :puzz

like...whats the likelihood of that happening?

That is so sad, I cant imagine being told my husband is my brother.

Very strange!

So strange and SO sad

That's messed up! Aren't people suppose to have a blood test done first before getting married!! lol

Yikes...can you imagine GROSS!!! I always think about how that could happen with sperm donors....EEK

Twin brother no less! I feel bad for them :( I hope their identity wasn't released to protect them from embarassment.

can you imagine how heart broken they are :( to find out ur other half, well was really ur other half

That's messed up! Aren't people suppose to have a blood test done first before getting married!! lol
nope, plus this was in london so their rules are completely different then the US, but I do know I didn't have to get a blood test to get married. and a blood test isn't a DNA test so you can't tell if you are related because of a blood test.

That story fascinates me. Of all the billions of people in the world, they found one another. Strange.

How sad :no

:shock

That's so crazy! It shows how close siblings are that they would find each other again and have a bond (albeit not the kind of bond they normally would... :nutts )

That is so sad, I cant imagine being told my husband is my brother.

I know.

That's messed up! Aren't people suppose to have a blood test done first before getting married!! lol

nope, I dont think blood tests have been required in YEARS...not to mention they're in London.

can you imagine how heart broken they are :( to find out ur other half, well was really ur other half

:lmao

:wow

I can't even begin to imagine how traumatized they are right now.

That's messed up! Aren't people suppose to have a blood test done first before getting married!! lol

Not all states require it and they just test for STD's not DNA.

:( That's so sad.

Oh gosh... that's horrible! I mean how would you feel if the person you loved and thought you were gonna spend the rest of your life with was actually your twin.... *shiver*

WOW!! :wow

i have no idea

I heard this on the radio this morning. I always wondered if that kind of thing would happen eventually.

um i think they can handel the kissing and all but the part that is creep be sides the wedding is did they know before the honeymoon

I feel so bad for them!

The funniest part about it is that they say this technology is to assist gay and lesbian couples to have children, but then they are worried about this:

potentially meaning a child could not be told they were conceived by assisted reproduction.

Um, by the time you are old enough to get married you should be able to deduce this fact if your parents are gay... right? Wouldn't you already be aware that your parents used some form of assisted reproduction even if they didn't actually tell you? ROFL!

I think this is really sad for that couple... but at the same time TONS of people put their kids up for adoption and this has never happened before (that we are aware of) so I think that shows it is really unlikely. It's kind of annoying that they are using it as a ploy to say stem cell research is bad. Because by that reasoning adoption is also bad.

That's sad. I wonder how they found out...

Poor twins. Must be very hard emotionally.

But, I think the case is not applicable to what that article / Lord is trying to make it apply to. Very different situations.

um i think they can handel the kissing and all but the part that is creep be sides the wedding is did they know before the honeymoon

How would they know prior to the honeymoon? I am guessing they might of had a hard time getting pregnant and had genetic testing done and found out that way.

Thats so sad and so gross

that is sooo strange, sad, a bit bizarre and eccentric all at once.

:wow that is sad but gross at the same time:eek

ewwww!!!

but how very strange :puzz

The odds of it happening are actually increasing. This is 1 thing I really had to think about. With all the sperm donors, egg donors, adoption etc it is a real possibility. I want tod onate my eggs but I have to consider the fact that there IS a possibility that Ethan or Ashley could meet and fall in love with the child from my donation. In alot of cases they'd have no idea.

It is a very sad situation and how heartbreaking to find out your spouse, the one you are in love with, is a sibling and that love is now wrong. I feel for that couple/brother and sister.

Damn.
That's so weird.

Not all states require it and they just test for STD's not DNA.


Mass tests to make sure you're not related (That's how my cousines who already had a son found out they were related). I wasn't married there but that's where most of my family was married. I didn't have to do any blood tests in Virginia.

That's really sad :( I'd be so devestated to find something out like that.

I've actually heard of a few other cases that the same thing has happened.

yeah i would be SUPER pissed if i was them that is so sad. but i guess it supports that twins will be drawn together.

NY didn't require any blood test either.

When I got married in 1994 here in CA they didnt require a blood test if you had lived wit the person longer then 1 month.

I would be completely traumatized if I that found out. o.o

See, I don't know if I could divorce Aron if he was my twin. I know that sounds sick and incestual, but I love him with all of my heart. He's my best friend in the world, my confidante, and my true soul mate. I don't think I could willingly live without the man I chose to love for eternity.

We just wouldn't have kids.

And that's why in many places in the US you have to have a blood test before you get the marriage license...

ick nasty
