yeh was abit but interesting!! What baffles me tho is how a tummour can grow hair, teeth etc???

 

If the "tumour" hadn't died as a foetus then the two would have been conjoined or siamese twins. As it was the foetus died early and wasn't a living entity in itself but was being fed by the living twin allowing it to grow. It didn't continue it's development was able to grow hair and nails etc.

 

Personally, I thought the program was overly drawn out and quite boring. Interesting topic but a very uninspired film with too much emphasis on trying to make it like an episode of the x-files.

I know what you are getting at Kether, but a foetus & a tumour are two different things, I have been told recently that the reason a tumour can grow hair etc is because it is made up of our DNA!!!

The tumour was a dead foetus. The dead foetus was a tumour to the little boy. A tumour is just a lump of new cells that shouldn't be there/serves no purpose.

I didn't see the program but I know exactly what you mean Kether.

 

90% of documentaries at the moment are completely lame and drawn-out - style over content and all that. E.g. that series about string theory and quantum theory - interesting stuff, but packed with pointless repetition of the same facts, patronising narration, and gratuitous computer graphics.

Within 5 minutes you knew the whole story of it last night so why make the film an hour long? I know, so they could show loads of really quick snapshots of a mutated dead foetus to some scary music.

 

WINNER!
