Weird concept, but stay with me. Twins occur when an embryo splits in two early in the incubation process, yes? So could a doctor do this on purpose and simply split embryos over and over again for extra eggs (and therefore extra children)? Maybe this is a dumb question, but I’m extremely curious.
In: Biology
A little OT but the Dionne Quintuplets (the first naturally occurring and surviving quints) all came from one egg that split, split and split. And each of those split to make 3 sets of twins that were all identical. One fetus was lost in utero, making 5 that were identical except the smallest set were ‘mirror twins’ with opposite hair parts, etc.
