Actually if they never knew each other then there were no familial ties which usually go along with the genetic reasons for not marrying kin.

i may alienate myself further by saying it, but one of my biggest and long standing fantasys is about having a sibling and being romantically involved, but im an only child, had i grown up with siblings..i probably wouldn't feel taht way...this is sad. how frustrating for them. makes me think about how they must have met, maybe taht twin thing really played into it, a pychic connection bringing them to each other. i dunno..if this happened to me, i'd probably stay with them, and just make absolutely certain that we didn't conceive. cuz as stated the social constructs, arn't really there since you didn't grow up as a family. but damn that's gotta suck...i believe adopted kids should be able to find thier parents actually, i think it's a basic human right myself. i really DO technically have a brother and 2 sisters but teh youngest of them is 37 yr's older than me, and i dunno if they know im related at all..joys of being a bastard..i guess conceivably..who knows maybe the father man..spread us out a little more..might well have more siblings::shrugs::

We're all obviously living in a David Lynch film. Where's my blue box with a blue key? But anyway, nobody mentioned the elephant in the room--the one sitting next to Naomi Watts. Obviously, the only way the couple discovered their mutual heritage was by the wife getting pregnant and the newborn has severe medical complications, which prompted doctors to run genetic tests.


Obviously? I don't think so. Perhaps one of them was ill and needed an organ donor, or perhaps they were having trouble conceiving and needed the tests run.
There are so many other options out there, it's not obvious that they had a child with "severe medical complications"

Plus, I learned in college that inbreeding isn't really as dangerous as people believe.

surely it was more likely that after sharing their own story they realised the similarities and maybe decided to investigate themselves etc

Actually, you are correct. The whole inbreeding thing is easily rectified with some simple tests. It is more likely that a woman over 35 having a child will face some type of genetic malfunction than siblings will.

In the end I feel really bad for them. It sucks to be like "yay I am in love, lets get married" to only find out you're blood related to the person....


very sad indeed

For some reason all I can think about is the fact that they had sex.

Wow. It isn't surprising they had such a connection. The mind and its perceptions mold us in so many ways. Maybe if they had known they had a twin out there somewhere, they would have noticed they looked alike and had the same birthday.

I would be absolutely devastated. Can you imagine finding your soulmate? Your life partner? You think you have everything planned out. And then... this.

I can't even imagine what they are going through. The feelings of shame, guilt, confusion. Ugh. Worst feeling ever.



But I get all those feelings anyway. Now I know I'm adpoted and my biological father was a musician but...........................oh man. If my dad is Mick Jagger........ EVERYONE IS MY SISTER!!!!!!! OH SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's a part of me that wonders what the validity to this story is. I mean, until there are more details out there, you just never know. Not that I'm a hater or anything, but I've seen stories like this before only to be called out as hoaxes. Either way, this would rock anyone's world and would completely suck to go through.

I have a hard enough time finding a girl that I can stand being around, let alone finding one, marrying them, then finding out we should have been growing up together or going to family reunions together.....fucked up
