Science is helping to make the world a very odd place. In this case, a pair of near identical twins were born to two different mothers. The event occurred after the parents had undergone 12 years of IVF treatment which eventually resulted in the mother and surrogate mother giving birth to the two babies.
Born minutes apart and with almost identical looks, there seems little to set Lauren and Hannah Bernaba apart from any other pair of newborn twins. But the girls are the world's first twins to be born on the same day to two different women. First, biological mother Amy Bernaba gave birth to Lauren, weighing 7lb 10oz, then, half an hour later, surrogate mum Torry Keay delivered 7lb 3oz Hannah.
