Nova: Separating Twins



A well loved dvd
Nova: Separating Twins

I purchased this dvd for my granddaughter who believe it or not is only age 3. I bought it for her for a gift for her 4th birthday which is this week! She happened to walk in to my bedroom one evening while I was viewing this program on Nova.com. She was absolutely intrigued by the babies and the sight of the surgeries did not bother her at all, her only concern being the babies getting better. She now begs me to let her watch the video on my computer! Time she has a copy of this on dvd format for her own. I know she will love it! Strange but true.All of that being said, I too did enjoy this remarkable story!

Amazing Competency
The good doctors at the Australia's Royal Children's Hospital separate twins who are connected by their brains so tightly that it's difficult to visually determine where one brain ends and the other begins. The detail this Nova show goes into is breathtaking: blood vessels finding any which way they can flow blood complicates the doctors' efforts in their plan to separate the twins. Most remarkable of all is the genuine, unmistakable, love the twins' adopted single mother gives them. All she wants in return after the surgery is for her weaker daughter to return back a raspberry tongue to signal that everything is okay.
