in science we watched this interview of Watson, the guy that discovered DNA's shape and stuff. Its funny all these people were trying to argue that genetic enhancment or improvment is wrong. This one lady said some incredibly creative people suffered from depression and there are obivously good and bads in some genetic defects. He looks at her like she is retarded and pretty much says no those people have the defect for depression but that does not mean they are creative. They simply happened to have the genes for depression and creativety... I wasn't really going anywhere with this story, it was pretty much just babling

This is why it happens.
() This is a zygote. A fertilized egg cell, after the sperm and egg meet. Identical twins happen when... (| |) The zygote completely splits. You have two cells which have identical genetical information. They won't be deformed- these create identical twins. (Non-identical twins form in the rare case of the release of two eggs) However... (|_|) These are Siamese (attatched) twins. They did not fully separate. They will be born attatched to each other. What happened here is that the other twin did not develop fully. My 7th grade science teacher told of a kid who had a wierd lump on him. When it was examined, it was an undeveloped Siamese twin.  ^ And someone said my school sucks.

By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly. |

It said the seconds heads partly developed mouth moves when the other is being breastfead suggestin brain activity in the second head. That would legally make it alive under current definitions of life right? so They should be having to consider if its alive. And what if it is and would grow up with the girl and have its own persanality if it remained. Should htey just remove it without considering this? If you say it parasitic, its alive and needing anything is parasitic(its the same needs as the twin thats not being removed) and there the same fetis so techinically the body's both theres.
This also brings something to light, and is a great example of how ive always felt, does the presents or lack of brain activity differentiate life form death(or in this case even the begining of life since we put so much emphasis on it in death), as this is a prime example of the more dificult part of the argument, and more suttle, of which most people arent capable or dont consider normally in there veiws, as it brings out a possibility normaly to hard to consider. (as you may see where im getting with brain activity being just as important sign of life in the womb. If we currently do not consider this currently with the begining of life but put all emphasis in it at the end, then we have a disruption of any equalibrium we may have thought we had in our veiws of life and death and need to take this into some real considerations.)
