Apparently the three children were all IVF. so the discussion (amongst many others) is that maybe the three egss were fertilozed at the same time but that there were two pregnancies. This may account for the similarity of the DNA between the twins and Madeleine.
As my medical knowledge is -33percent, has anyone got enough to know whether or not this is a possibility?
The three children, from three different eggs and three different sperm should be as unique as any brother or sister. There is nothing magical about using IVF that makes the offspring more similar - each fertilized egg contains one sperm and one egg.
Except of course on the outside chance of an IVF that results in identical twins, which the twins obviously are not since they are different genders.
