Fetus in Fetu

ever heard of this condition? where a female conceives a twin, one of the twins may not have developed porperly, resulting in a deformed embryo. and so happens that it enters the embryo if the healthy fetus, which finally results in a condition where the mother is pregnant with a baby who is pregnant with another fetus (who has a n umbilical cord attached to the healthy fetus). that essental makes him a parasite, surviving at the expense of another.

but i can't help but think he's just a victim of the circumstances. in order to survive, there is no way out but to rely on his twin brother, even when it could kill them all. It all boils down to the struggle for survival. the hideous face of all organisms.

kinda scary when u think abt it, no? when the baby is born, one will have to operate on him, and extract the fetus in him. a poor creature who is trying to form his limbs and brains.

and who noes? everyone of all might be a result of a battle between our twin brother. just that we were the lucky ones to outlive them. how sad.
