Don't drink the Kool-Aid

Each day I learn more about how strange the world works. Monday afternoon our friends delivered twin babies, both of them do not have a history of twins in their family and they did not participate in fertility treatments either.

This morning I turned on my computer and the first story my eyes were drawn to was about a village in Kodinji, India with 230 sets of twins. This is absolutely astounding to me. After centuries of research and medical support, doctors have insisted that the ability to have twins was based on one's genes, food habits, or age. The story in Reuters actually claims that the cause of the phenomenon is the water!

If this mystery if further investigated and scientists discover a cause, can you imagine the pandemonium that would arise? I hear that fertility treatments can be very costly, and the opportunity to have multiple babies without the help of a doctor could increase the world's population exponentially!

For those of you that do not know, twins are highly, let's say, "contagious" in my family and Chris's family. The chance that we may have twins some day, based solely on genetics, is very high. I have never been to India, never really plan to, but if I know that a plane so much as flew over India, I might be hesistant to board it.

Is this really a plausible explanation? How is it possible that this is isolated to the Kodinji village of India? I have no medical training, have not done any research on this topic, but my gut tells me this is going to have a profound impact on our society in the near future. Once again scientists will use their petri dishes to create something that only God was meant to touch, and next thing you know every country will be overpopulated like China and adoption will be free.

Okay maybe I went off the deep end a little bit on this one, but you have to admit it is a little scary. All I'm saying is "DON'T DRINK THE KOOL-AID."
