Wow, that's fascinating! Are you sure you mean "in vitro"? That means in a test tube. Or was it "in utero" surgery?

When they are together, One is a bit taller than her "younger" sister. When they are apart, I really have to guess. They are truly mircle girls. Were mono-amniotic is the womb. An in vitro laser procedure at Children's Hospital in Philadelphia was used to allow both developing babies enough nutrition from the single placenta they shared.

Always enjoyed the story of the 3 brothers. I used them in my biology class discussions of identical siblings. Little did I know that years later I would become the Grandfather of identical twin girls.
