So, there are some really interesting questions and thoughts here, but, first I just want to say:

Holy f**king shit, INCEST! Ahhh ha, wow. That sucks.

Now that I'm over that:
How does this speak to our attractions of those who are similar to ourselves?
What does this say about the social taboo of incest and its nature?
Should we ready foster children with more information regarding their situations and or biological parents?
How f**ked up is that?! Do you think they cried, I bet they did. Damn.

Well, the chances of that happening are incredibly slim.

"And of course there is unlikely to be anyone more similar to any individual than their sibling."

This quotation is completely not true; just because they came out of the same vagina does not mean that their personality, likes, or dislikes are identical, as well. I couldn't imagine anyone more different than I am with my siblings. So, I'm just going to cross that mentality out. There might have been an instant attraction because they are twins, but it doesn't meant that they are similar. But, I suppose in this case, they are similar.

If I weren't dating my boyfriend, I would also agree with superstitious: that differences make a relationship interesting. But not anymore, as I find that my boyfriend and I are freakishly similar, and we get along perfectly. It's as if I were supposed to be part of his family and not mine (but we're in no way related, thank god.) So, I'm not really surprised by this article whatsoever. I don't even know why the article was even written; a pure waste of space and time.
