It’s not the first time twins have been filmed before inside the womb. It is the first time they can be seen in such detail, given the film was made using images taken from MRI.
New Scientist states that magnetic resonance imaging takes photos of “thin slices of the body” repetitively and “stitches them together” to create such a detailed video:
“A lot of the so-called videos in the womb are very processed, so they do a lot of reconstructing and computer work afterwards. These are the raw images that are acquired immediately,” says Marisa Taylor-Clarke of theRobert Steiner MR Unit at Imperial College London, who recorded the images.
See how clear the images and movement of the twins are for yourself:
New Scientist states Taylor-Clarke is using this technique to study a fairly common complication among twins where their blood supply becomes connected. As you can see in the video, one of the twins is clearly larger, as it is receiving more of the blood supply.
Taylor-Clarke, more specifically, is researching the consequences of the operation performed to stop the shared blood supply.
Taylor-Clarke’s research is still ongoing, but beyond the main objective of the project, it is also revealing so much more that could be used to predict complications before birth and about twin development in general. The research has already begun to show that even though they are genetically identical and in the same environment, they have different experiences while in the womb that can impact their development.

Posted on June 8, 2012 at 2:50pmSurhanSurhan:
WHY ARE YOU ON THIS BOARD? Are you sneaking over here from MediaMatters.com? Shame on you. We all accept your apologies. However, if we were like what your religion teaches, THEN WE WOULD KILL YOU. But, this country allows you to speak your mind. Now whether we listen to you or not, is really what you need to care about. I am sure there are some good Muslims, but I have read your Koran and studied it and it is the biggest LIE on the planet. First, Mohammed CAME AFTER JESUS CHRIST. So, what Mohammed actually did was CALL GOD A LIAR BY CLAIMING TO KNOW MORE THAN GOD’S OWN SON. Not good Surhan. NOT GOOD in God’s eyes. GOD IS NOT A LIAR. He is a God of mercy, truth, and grace. Yet, Islam does not teach that. WHY?
Now, look at who Satan is. He is the opposite of God. NO MERCY. NO TRUTH. NO GRACE.
Therefore, since Islam teaches NO MERCY, NO GRACE, NO TRUTH, then where does Islam come from: God or Satan? If you kill your own people or anyone else who is NOT a Muslim, THEN HOW CAN THAT BE MERCY, TRUTH, AND GRACE?
The true fact is, ISLAM is a ploy by Satan TO ENSLAVE PEOPLE TO FOLLOW HIM by getting them to do horrible things in the name of the one God Satan HATES, thereby destroying God’s followers, making God look bad, and then sending Muslims to hell. PRETTY SHAMEFUL, DON’T YOU THINK?
ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF SLAVERY, HATE, AND EVIL. It comes from Satan. So, the next time you bow to the East, REMEMBER WHAT I SAID. Who r u bowing to?

Posted on June 8, 2012 at 12:21pm@ KAFIR- First of all, I’ve already apologized for my comment(s). Second of all, I have no first hand knowledge about what Prophet Muhammad did in the seventh century and neither do you. The thing that I can’t understand is why do non-Muslims believe all the negative things about Muhammad and none of the positive things?
Allah testifies about the behavior of Prophet Muhammad:
Holy Qur’an 68:4 Surah (means Chapter) Al-Qalam (means The pen)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
…And you (oh, Muhammad) are surely on an excellent standard of behavior. (4)
Allah says Prophet Muhammad was on the highest pinnacle of behavior., that’s good enough for me.

Posted on June 9, 2012 at 4:55pmWhy do you think there’s so much bitterness towards Islam?? Is it just because of 9/11? I am sure there are many who think the long anger towards Muslims started then, but even since Ismael and Hagar traveled throughout north Africa spreading what would be Islam the world has seen what dogs many of the followers are. I am the person who doesn’t impose my beliefs on others, as long as no innocent persons get harmed, and it’s between consenting adults so be it. I have noticed ever since a child a very clear distinction between Muslims and other cultures. There’s something so rotten about many who follow Islam. Say what you will about Christians. etc. But I constantly take note how the majority of Muslims are always walking around with a chip on thier shoulders, and DO NOT try to acclimate into our culture (American) I feel many Muslims see us as cockroaches in a land they wish to conquer and just try to ignore us until the great jihad happens.
