Human Parasite

Subscribe - http://goo.gl/wpc2Q1 Every other Wednesday we present a new video, so join us to see the truth laid bare... This young girl from India was born with an additional set of arms and legs, with x-rays revealing an extra pelvis. Strictly speaking these didn’t belong to her, but to her headless, inverted, and undeveloped twin, called a parasitic twin. The difference between a parasitic twin, and healthy twin, is just a matter of days. In most cases identical twins are created during a 12-13 day window following fertilisation. After this time the basic embryo starts to organise into the first stages of the crude embryonic body. It may be that if the embryo splits during this organisation, separation is never fully completed, and the two embryos remain fused. This rare reproductive accident occurs once in every 200,000 births and usually results in conjoined twins, identical twins joined at the head or body. Parasitic twins are in essence conjoined twins, except one twin is totally dependent on the other fully functional one. In this case her headless twin relied entirely on her for survival.

This film series opens up the incredible foetal world of twins, triplets and quads in the womb. Using revolutionary 4D scans, we witness unique footage of multiple foetuses interacting with each other before birth. Multiples tells us not only about the extremes of human reproduction but the limits of human design.
