A 9-year old girl in Athens, Greece, went to the hospital with severe stomach pains and it turns out...she was carrying the embryo of her twin in there!
NAST!!!!
Says the story: "Andreas Markou, head of the hospital's pediatric department, said the embryo was a formed fetus with a head, hair and eyes, but no brain or umbilical cord.
Markou said cases where one of a set of twins absorbs the other in the womb occurs in one of 500,000 live births."
So is that, like, a parasitic twin? Conjoined twins? Siamese twins? Hell, I don't know.
Kinda sad. But still "ewwww"-inducing.
Reminds me of that scene in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone when Professor Quirrell unwraps his head, turns around, and there's Voldemort's maggoty lookin' face! Gross!!
Anyhoobs, let's take a trip down memory lane and visit Lori & Dori/Reba/George Schappell, the oldest living conjoined twins in the world. Dori changed her name to Reba, then last year, she changed it to George. Ummm, whatever.
Muy caliente!!
Funny, she's got Amy Winehouse face.
The correct term for an embryo encased in their twin's body is called fetus in fetu. The pic you have on your blog is a parasitic twin, which is entirely different and misleading in relation to your content.
