Before they're even supposed to remember life experience? I guess you could say it like that.
Well, I guess it depends on exactly when the twin, er, 'died.' If it was after the third trimester I can definitely see it...
rereading that I'm a bit horrified at how that sounded - I don't believe that feelings should be a base for an argument. As you mentioned, practically speaking, instinctual can be either bio or culture (or a million other things).
Actually, it's not so much that you used feelings as the basis for an argument, but that you used the fact that most people find not knowing your biological parent sad, which is fine (although that fact itself could use some evidence I suppose).
Yep. I never heard anyone say that raising kids was easier than being one, though.
I was joking, mostly. It does depend on who your parents are.
Yes - they are usually good parents, but any parent has to.
Agreed.
Surprised there isn't a TV show about that.
There probably is, but I haven't seen it at any rate.

Well, it seems the discussion basically wound down, lol. Thanks, though--it was interesting! And I'm still not quite sure what to say about those "twin dying" studies.

Thank you too - I sincerely enjoyed it (and discovered that comment discussions are a great means of short term self-reward.)
