<< I have a friend that insists she has an identical twin brother.

I thought that this was impossible, and that to be identical twins you'd have to be the same sex.

Who's right? >>

You are very right! LOL

You can only be an identical twin if you are the same sex.

An identical twin comes from the same egg that just divides into two sharing the same sac! Natures way of cloning!

Fraternal twins come from two separate eggs, each have their own placentas and sacs.

:o)

Jennifer Not a Dr. Just someone with some common sense!
