Could a fertility specialist theoretically make infinite twins?

324 viewsBiologyOther

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 theory sure.

There isnt really a reason to though, but they could.

It is probably more complicated than just splitting the cells as you would probably have to do this in-vitro, and implanting fertilized cells isnt the easiest thing.
