Not identicals as much as fraternals.
Because identical twins, many of them met through mistaken identity and they were all living in the New York, New Jersey, Long Island areas.
That's where they were adopted in those families.
But there could be fraternal twins who cross paths every day and have no knowledge that they were part of a pair.
No, there really isn't.
You've got to remember the twins are still a minority in the population.
And these are twins born to single Jewish women in New York City between the years of about, you know, late 50s to maybe early 70s.
That's it.
But as I said, there probably are fraternal twins out there.
I doubt that there are identicals out there.
Well, as I said, the last line of my book is, this is a great example of how research should not be done.
And it really gives you a respect for the investigator participant relationship, one of openness, one of honesty, one of information give and take.
That is so important.
And you find that participants appreciate that and are much more willing to disclose information if they know you appreciate it and are willing to keep it confidential and have gathered it under ethical circumstances.
In terms of what we learned about twins, I think it just underlines the importance of the twin relationship.
Just how happy these twins were to meet each other, but just so unhappy to realize all that they had lost.
Well, I can't say it was my pleasure because we were talking about a topic that is not very pleasant.
But if it informs your listeners and your viewers, then I'm pleased that I came on.
