cliffnotes: A woman has been found to have 2 different sets of DNA in her. This was caused by 2 embryos joining to make 1 embryo.
discuss ramifications on:
1. if an embryo has a soul then that makes what 2 souls in 1 person?
2. changes to the embryo = human life argument from pro-lifers. If 2 embryos = 2 human lives and those can become one embryo / life then it seems that the assumption that embryo = human life is flawed.
also no she doesn't have immune system problems because the immune system isn't fully functional until a while after birth so it learns that the 2 DNAs are 'self' and not a foreign invader
edit: for clarification
