Twins, meeting later in life and never knowing about the existance of the other, get married.

What a bummer.

I just read this. "You look.... strangely familiar."

How disconcerting would that be? "My long-lost brother! Okay we had to annul the marriage but we can still do holidays, right?"

I've seen a documentary a while back about a married couple who found out they were related way after they got married, they already had four kids.

Still married though I believe.

As odd as this is, I think it's even odder that Mr. Alton is using this as a reason to not pass this "Human Embryology and Tissues Bill".

Quote:
David Alton, a member of the House of Lords, revealed their situation as a way of highlighting perceived shortcomings in the Human Embryology and Tissues Bill which is now going through Britain's Parliament.

He first heard of the twins' marriage in a conversation with a High Court judge, and initially raised the case in a House of Lords debate on December 10.

Alton said: "(The brother and sister) met later in life and felt an inevitable attraction, and the judge had to deal with the consequences of the marriage that they entered into and all the issues of their separation.

"I suspect that it will be a matter of litigation in the future if we do not make information of this kind available to children who have been donor-conceived."


I'm not saying it's impossible, but the possibility of 2 Donor-Conceived people Marrying has got to be slim, let alone 2 people Donor-Conceived by the same Donor.

It's certainly got to be as rare, if not more so, than 2 twins seperated at birth gettin' hitched.

I would hope that the dudes sister was mega-hot so he could get over those feelings of humping his sister, that much faster.

We had a thread before about how we'd react in such a situation.

You'll be glad to know that your boyfriend was scornful of the idea that I'd stop fucking my sister. Smiley: laugh

I remember that!

He's scornful about everything. He doesn't even like me that much. Smiley: wink

Well, Mr. Tare is adopted and we were born in the same hospital so I guess it could happen.

But I sure hope not. Smiley: frown

I'd like to think that siblings, even unknown to one another, would have some kind of an inate repulsion to having sex with one another.

Guess not.

If you have more than one child, it's your responsibility as a parent to have powerful earth magnets implanted in their genitals.

And, for God's sake, get the polarities right.

Apparently, studies exist indicating that it's environmental conditioning that makes your siblings/parents unattractive. This explains why there are so many elective 1st and 2nd cousin marriages in some areas of the world. I learned that in psychology years ago, but I do not have time to dig up a cite.

What mechanism do you imagine to be in place to cause this reaction?

The medically well accepted "heebie-jeebies".

I thought you only get the "heebie-jeebies" when you contract the dreaded "cooties".

I thought you were talking about 4girls finger paint, the sequel to 2girls 1 cup. I refuse to watch either but I do have a blast watching the reactionary videos.

The peer told the House of Lords that a court annulled the union as soon as the twins' true relationship became known.


Because the crippling influence of cultural mores about pointless previously unknown facts that need never be made public wildly trump the well being of two people.

WTF is wrong with people. It's not 1055. It might be alright to eat animals with cloven hooves and not obsess over strangers with similar DNA feeling the appropriate shame over having touched each other.

****.

Sibling marriage aside, it's got to be heartbreaking when your separation is entirely outside the realm of your control. Breaking up when you still have feelings for the other person is one of the most difficult things to do. Poor people. I really feel for them.

I'd be surprised if they didn't remain a couple anullment be damned.

Anyway, what I read is that the lack of attraction is fostered primarily between birth and the age of 5/6. After that point, the chances for attraction to relatives is greatly increased. I was also surprised to learn that marriage to your first cousin is legal in like 1/3 of US states, and is acknowledged in all/most states.

On a creepy anecdote: A summer ago I met a first cousin of mine for the first time who was 5 or 6. When I saw her this Christmas she hung all over me and kept saying "mine". :/ Very uncomfortable especially with all the other family members around.

No, it's 1428 in the Hijri calendar, which might explain why so many of my Pakistani neighbours are so keen on marrying 1st cousins and spawning 12 fingered spastics with eyes on stalks and the ability to breathe with their faces submerged.

Lol, imagine when your hubby-that-never-was /twin brother brings his new girlfriend round to meet you.

In the manner of girls, she'll probably ask ' Did you meet any of his previous girlfriends'

'Yes, I was one! '

AAAAAAAWWWWKKKKKKWWWWAAAARRRRDDD.
Has to suck on many levels - losing someone you love because of something like this, and also finding a family member you never knew existed, and having it forever made awkward.

Perhaps they can change their names and moves to France to stay together as husband and wife. The french obviously don't check for that sort of thing and it must be rampant from the looks of them.
