This article opens with the brief life histories of reared-apart monozygotic (MZ) male twins. A New York City program that helped childless couples conceive via artificial insemination from the 1930s to the 1950s is examined as it related to these twins. The frequency with which pregnancies following assisted reproductive technology resulted in MZ twin pairs is also provided. Next, summaries of twin research concerning selective resuscitation, gene editing, sexual arousal and jejuno-ileal atresia are presented. The article ends with media reports of twin girls' efforts to find a bone marrow donor for their father, possible parasitic twinning in a puppy, identical female twins' business venture, the surgical separation of craniopagus twins, a twin-themed magazine cartoon and tragic events involving identical male twins.
本文开篇介绍了分开抚养的同卵(MZ)男性双胞胎的简短人生经历。一项从20世纪30年代到50年代帮助无子女夫妇通过人工授精受孕的纽约市项目被作为与这些双胞胎相关的内容进行了研究。还提供了辅助生殖技术后怀孕产生同卵双胞胎对的频率。接下来,呈现了关于选择性复苏、基因编辑、性唤起和空肠闭锁的双胞胎研究总结。文章结尾是媒体报道的双胞胎女孩为父亲寻找骨髓捐赠者的努力、一只小狗可能存在的寄生双胞胎现象、同卵女性双胞胎的商业冒险、颅联体双胞胎的手术分离、一个以双胞胎为主题的杂志卡通以及涉及同卵男性双胞胎的悲剧事件。
