Q: Identical Twin Brothers (look)

Im bored and I have been thinking. I don't know if she was joking or not. I gather she was serious, but I remember a friend telling me that she had sex with identical twin brothers and she doesn't know who the father is. Paternity test can't tell because the brothers have identical dna.

So she is making them both pay for child support, but she was saying, both brothers don't feel that much of a serious bond to the child, since they don't know whose child it is.

#1. I don't know why "she" or anyone else would get themself into something like that.
#2. Have you ever heard about something like that before?

I looked it up.
Q. Do identical twins have the exact same dna?
A. Since no one has ever sequenced identical twins' dna, no one knows for sure, said terry spear, a supervisor at the california criminalistics institute and an authority on dna testing.
``even if, starting as embryos, they had identical dna, there is some chance that in utero there might have been mutations in their dna,'' she said. ``after the dna is in two separate embryos, there's a fairly reasonable chance that some of that dna will change through the course of mutation.

So the answer. Who knows lol. I'd try testing though, because there is a chance that the dna is seperate.

lol, I know. She did and they couldn't tell. So they both have to pay $1700.00. For child support each month. Even if so. She should of never got herself into that situation.

Thanks chanda

I hope not, because quite frank she doesn't deserve it. It's horrible.

Yeah, that isn't right. They cannot legally make two people pay and her get double support when they cannot determine who the father is.
On law & order (i am a junkie) they had an episode with identical twins and their dna was the same. But that was t.V!
Dunno.
