"Combining genes is like combining light, not paint."

5. Read the title of the post and I thought, "Wow ... that's cool!"

Watched the video and I got ticked off. What is wrong with people? Seriously. The questions and comments are ridiculous and offensive! "Are you sure they're twins?" "They must have different fathers!" "Are you sure they're related?" :wtf:

Dominant and recessive genes, DNA, heredity ... did everyone skip 7th grade science?

In any case ... the children are gorgeous and the parents seem like intelligent, easy-going people who won't let the idiots affect their lives in any way. I wish the entire family all the best! :)
