Woman who had sex with identical twins told it is 'not possible' to identify dad

From reading it appears all parties are invested in the outcome of children. So this becomes interesting for other reasons.

What is the current state of the art in this type of testing? Why is a definitive result too far off but also too expensive?

muskstinks•1h ago
You need to find a genome change if it exists which requires whole genome sequencing. so its a money question and doesn't guarantee a result
giantg2•1h ago
And even if a genome change exists, it may not show up in the offspring depending on which version of gamete they're derived from.
PaulKeeble•42m ago
Epigenetic changes might be one possibility, they are sometimes passed down to children and are responses to environmental adjustments. We don't know most of the rules around them however nor what can be passed down and to what extent but potentially in the future we should know more.

>>A woman who had sex with identical twins separately "within four days of each other"

Amazing.

muskstinks•1h ago
Why?

And why do we evaluate this on something like hn?

Are you shaming a person for having sex or?

ahhhhnoooo•1h ago
Right? Good for her/them, assuming everyone was consenting.
ap99•1h ago
Not really, no.

Sex has consequences like these people are seeing.

Consenting people can still make mistakes and ruin relationships where if they had exercised better judgment they wouldn't have had problems.

ap99•1h ago
The sex part is a bit shame worthy I'd say.

But the part where this woman cannot identify the father is definitely worth shaming.

ahhhhnoooo•1h ago
Consenting adults can have sex with each other. There's zero shame in that.

And though having these two partners was unwise for this reason, it's not really a matter of shame so much as one where we should just find a practical solution that doesnt mess with the kid.

muskstinks•1h ago
No birth control is 100%. We live on a planet were very rare situations are getting published as 'news'. So the fact that you read this news, doesn't tell you anything shameful at all. You are just biased and don't even realise it.

And no you are not allowed to shame other people for their decisions if its not clear that there is a kid getting abused in any way. People are adults and not yours to criticsize if it doesn't affect you or a 3th entity which can't protect itself.

Its your personal opionion you can easily and should keep yourself.

asah•1h ago
"Amazing" is not necessarily a judgment, could in fact be congratulations or even judgment-free entirely just amazing story.
nodesocket•1h ago
I mean, 4 days and then she hooks up with your twin brother. Yes, I am shaming her.
ahhhhnoooo•1h ago
Maybe everyone was aware and consenting.
spzb•1h ago
Interesting bias to blame the woman. How do you know that the second twin wasn't taking advantage of their identical looks to convince the woman it was the same man she had slept with the first time? She may not even have been aware that he had an identical sibling.
gadders•55m ago
Oh, I blame everyone who was aware.

If one brother was pretending to be the other I blame him more.

mionhe•1h ago
A person expressing wonder at a surprising situation does not require shaming.

And yes, I think when a person finds themselves in a situation like this they should be examining their life choices.

I don't know why it's on hn though.

muskstinks•32m ago
"they should be examining their life choices." based on your world view though. We became a very boring race only optimizing our lives for work. No alien race would look at us and think we are smart spending so much time doing things which do not add value to our society just because we can't organize ourselves better.

Just because we conditioned ourselves like this, doesn't mean its right or wrong.

And this article doesn't give us enough insight to even judge.

Birth control is not perfect. 99% is very little in comparision to the amount of sex happening in a population of 8 billion people.

ap99•1h ago
Exactly. This whole "no shame" society has gone a bit too far.
rich_sasha•33m ago
When I first read the headline, I thought it's about a woman who had sex with her own identical twin (and somehow that means their father cannot be identified).

So I was almost disappointed when I read it properly.

snvzz•1h ago
Considering outcomes of children that grow up in a single parent scenario are well-known to be much better when it is the father rather than the mother, in the interest of the child, I would propose splitting custody between the two fathers, leaving the mother out.
muskstinks•1h ago
Yeah probably because our patrichary is shit and woman earn a lot less money than man do which makes it easier for the man to pay for baby sitter, nanny, education etc.

Perhaps we fixup our society instead of blaming it to a woman?

ahhhhnoooo•1h ago
No clue why you are getting downvoted. It's well documented that women earn less. It's well documented that children are expensive. It's well documented that social safety nets are inadequate to assist in raising a child.

You've literally just stated some objective facts and suggested we fix some of those challenges.

ap99•1h ago
Money isn't the only factor of why the single fathers produce better outcomes for their children.
ahhhhnoooo•1h ago
Show your work, provide a source.
muskstinks•1h ago
Ah yes other factors of misogynistics like potential men seeing a single mother as an issue why potential woman might not.

Btw. its also a lot harder for man to get the sole custody which means that only the most motivated and well suited men even achieve this probably also with an expensive lawyer.

giantg2•1h ago
I assume they are getting down voted because their statement is emotional and seemingly unsupported (seems to ignore child support). After accounting for child support, they should have similar resources. We can further investigate this when comparing to intact families - single parents of either sex have wealth gaps with intact families, yet outcomes in single father families tend to be close to the outcomes of the intact families. We would probably need more research into the topic to find concrete causes, but there doesn't seem to be much interest in that.
muskstinks•54m ago
I would have a lot more money even with child support just because I earn so much more than my wife.

So in avg man earn more and have more carerse because they do not stay at home for the children.

Also guess who normally gets custody? Yeah the mother. So having a man getting custidy is not normal at all. This skews the data massivly.

So as long as we are not experts here but a group of men earning above avg, we might not stereotype and dismiss genders.

giantg2•50m ago
"I would have a lot more money even with child support just because I earn so much more than my wife."

That depends on the state, especially looking at after tax income due to the tax treatment on both sides.

"So having a man getting custidy is not normal at all. "

I agree there could be bias there. I think if we looked at households with deceased parents and then controlled for income, that would present a good elimination of bias.

muskstinks•42m ago
There should be a cap in all states of child support. And independent of this, the person with a lot more income can do things the other person can't like getting a nani.

And lets be honest here: A single father is so rare that this alone raises eyebrows and questions. Ironically more like positive reactions and dismissive ones against the woman.

cjs_ac•1h ago
> Considering outcomes of children that grow up in a single parent scenario are well-known to be much better when it is the father rather than the mother

I've never heard this and would be very interested in a source.

ap99•1h ago
Just google it.

Better outcomes all around when the father is the only parent as opposed to when the mother is the only parent.

spzb•1h ago
The burden of proof falls on the person making the assertion. Why should anyone else have to do the work that he/she/they didn't bother with?
giantg2•1h ago
"Why should anyone else have to do the work that he/she/they didn't bother with?"

Because they are curious (consistent with the culture of this site). They would also be more likely to trust their own sources, I assume.

spzb•1h ago
Trusting sources because they are your "own" is just asking for bias to be ingrained.
giantg2•53m ago
Yet it's well known that if you want someone to change their mind it's most likely to occur if they think it's their own idea/doing. You're more likely to argue with me than if you just read sources you found and independently came to the conclusion.
giantg2•1h ago
Not the same person, but here's something. Just to note, the income portion mention might be lacking additional investigation as child support is typically not accounted for in income numbers.

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-single-father-households-...

spzb•1h ago
The buried lede in that link is that mothers who don't have custody of their children are more likely to remain in close emotional contact with their children than fathers are when in the same position. So children living with dad still benefit from having both parents involved in their upbringing. Which undermines OP's assertion that this child would be better off without their mother around.
giantg2•55m ago
Yes, involvement from both parents seems to be the major factor regardless of sex. There is likely additional research needed on why fathers disengage more when the mother has primary custody. With a majority of single parent households being headed by mothers, it seems another area ripe for research is how unlikely it is that the majority of fathers are disengaged to create such a large effect on the whole single mother cohort. Likewise, with the way custody tends to be grated in court, you would expect single father households to have a higher percentage of unengaged mothers due if it was determined that the mothers were the lesser choice for child welfare. I would guess looking at outcomes where one parent died would mostly control for that support mechanism.

What the fuck? Leave the mother out of her own child's life? Because statistically there is a marginal difference, which may not even apply here, because population wide numbers aren't a good indicator for specific cases?

Your approach is inhumane.

There is an interesting question - how can we prove paternity or other DNA based questions with identical twins (full sequencing looking for mutations?) and if we can't, how do we handle legal responsibilities in this sort of case?

There's a lot of good material to discuss here.

leni536•1h ago
This feels like purely a legal question. The child is equally related the twins both genetically and seemingly in other relationships.
hnbad•1h ago
If I understand correctly, the current outcome is that the twin remains on the birth certificate but his legal rights granted by paternity have been suspended?

I understand the reasoning that the inability to prove a positive does not suffice to prove a negative but clearly his presence on the birth certificate is a positive claim that has been ruled invalid - shouldn't it then be removed, at least temporarily?
