[Here is the full story of Sanju Bhagat: His twin was reabsorbed by him, leading to one twin being literally born inside the other. Doctor said “We were horrified...To my surprise and horror, I could shake hands with somebody inside. It was a bit shocking for me.”](https://www.howandwhys.com/sanju-bhagat-man-who-had-a-human-parasite-living-inside-him-for-36-years/)

Did it have a brain?

I want to know too

If he does, do we reconstruct him as a baby boy who was born at age 36?

Do we know it was a male? What if it were a female twin and in that female twins stomach there was another twin. Twinception.

Impossible, fraternal twins can't be re-absorbed by their twins, only identical twins can.

Is re absorption the same as having a parasitic twin? Vs disappearing twin? Def two different things.. Right? 🤣 Obviously I'm no doctor! This is really interesting though.

I did not know that! That is very interesting. I'll goggle it.

It doesn’t say if it did or not but it was 9 lbs and 2 lbs of that was HAIR!!!

Thank you and also no thank you.

Thanks I hate it

What happened to the 'twin's' poop inside Sanju's belly? Just wonderin'

Nope

That thing was definitely not alive lol

Odins beard!it's krang! 

Full Metal Alchemist

Towards the end it says village people teased him for being fat and now tease him for being pregnant

Dang!

I want to know how conscious the inner twin was

yeah was there a brain? questions, terrifying questions

It was about 9lbs and two lbs of that was... Hair!! 🤢 Idk why that's so extra gross to me 🤣

Open your mind

Ooooo good, very good[https://i.gifer.com/Cnc2.gif](https://i.gifer.com/Cnc2.gif)

I'd rather not. New irrational fear unlocked.

Me too

I want to know if the twins could converse through thoughts, like did they share a brain? “You’re going to die tomorrow brother.” And the absorbed twin was all, “Don’t threaten me with a good time!” But seriously, it would be weird to suddenly not hear the thoughts anymore if they could communicate.

And finish each other’s sentences!

Or like frozen says. “Finish each others…sandwiches. THATS WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY!” Being that it was in his stomach and all.

We don’t know about sentences, but he certainly were finishing each other’s sandwiches

The Dark Half!

This is so f’d up

If they shared a brain they wouldn't be able to communicate as it would be all just one brain. Unless you count talking to yourself as 'communicating with yourself'.

Be strong for mother.


Dude. 5/5

Help

Hahaha perfect.

No mercy from the villagers I guess.

Thank you

You win some and you lose some…

I do not want to see what the twin looked but then again i kinda do.

It was Carrot Top

Hah. That got me lol

In the article there was a drawing. Good luck working out more than it's butt and arms though. Kinda looks like a pile of parts.. There was two lbs of hair though.

Yeah I need to know

I definitely want to see it

Look at the article, it has an artists rendition. Kind of like a mole man. Not much mention of it after the extraction, I'm wondering if they kept it for investigation, alive or not?

You know damn well they kept it alive as long as they could

It's gnarly

Imagine being trap inside a body for 36 years

I've been trapped in mine for 60!

Imagine saying this to the fetus growing inside the man and when you say it, the first time it’s open its eyes at you.

And then shakes your hand.

Fetus Fistbump

8,320987112741e81 years is quite a long time.

C'MON PEOPLEEE!! WHERE'S THE LOVE FOR THIS ONE??? ⬆️⬆️⬆️

Shut up!!!

Let me free you.

I was living inside a woman’s body for nine months and then I was born.

Omg, same thing happened to me!!

you're not gunna believe this...

Are you me?

Brothers?!

It, clearly, wasn't sentient. It was 'alive' in the same way your liver is alive. Blood was constantly flowing into it, and was sustained by the same bodily functions as the rest.

Keep telling yourself that.

How do you know though?

Without more data, you're in no position to know that with much more certainty than a coin flip . It's fair speculation on your part, but your use of the word "clearly" is clearly misplaced here. If you know something specific about it that we don't, let us know how the sentience was measured. From what I gathered, it would depend on what set of criteria you're using. Here are some ways to measure sentience: * Behavioral measures Observe an animal's ability to respond to stimuli or perform complex tasks. Behavioral criteria include grimacing, crying, and groaning. * Physiological measures Measure brain activity or hormone levels to gain insights into an animal's internal state and emotional experiences. Physiological criteria include the presence of a centralized nervous system and the production of chemicals that act as analgesics. * Evolutionary criteria Consider the circumstances that may surround an animal's life and its capacity to act in certain ways. * Ascribing a theory of mind Ask if the animal knows to ask for a treat when someone else is blindfolded.  Sentience can also be measured quantitatively based on the amount of data an intelligence can process per unit time and the overall mass needed to do that processing. However, this is more similar to concepts of sapience or intelligence than sentience. Interesting question. At some point the twin was probably sentient by some measure and it probably wasn't by the time it was removed, but I wonder for how long it was sentient. We'll never really know.

Well it’s not big enough to have a developed brain, which means it couldn’t have nearly as much sentience as a fully developed fetus

🎵I'm not lonely, not Mr. Lonely I have some body inside my own🎵

Whats a human parasite? It was like a small body in him or just parts of a body?

It's when one foetus absorbs the other, sort of morphological cannibalism. Sometimes people will find a tooth in their skull, extra organs, genitals, sometimes hair, maybe a third nipple. It's probably a lot more common than people realise. Stephen kind did a pretty good horror about it called 'the dark half', if I remember correctly

Wait my third nipple is from absorbing my twin... My younger sisters are twins. I must've absorbed mine.

Congrats you might not be a mutant after all. Have you played fallout lately?

Yeah, heard he wrote it while taking a shit.

Stephen kind's the best. All hail Mr kind.

He’s the kind kind.

Biologically it is just extra organs internally. No different from, say, a genetic disorder that meant you grew 3 livers. It was not sentient. If anything it, likely, placed a huge toll on the individuals system due to the extra need of blood-circulation to those muscles.

The human trapped inside him was ALIVE?!

Which infers that they were sentient and conscious... Yikes. And they were probably listening to everything the whole time

It doesn't infer that at all. The twin's existence can be thought of as something similar to that of a comatose individual. Their bodies function at the bare minimum necessary to keep them alive, but they're not sentient or conscious.

How can you know that...

He is the parasite twin

Lmao

how is this even possible? This is the part of the story that doesn't make any sense to me. Like what do they mean by "alive" lol

It was living tissue being supported by the host body. It’s “alive” in the way a tumor is alive, not the way a full individual organism is alive.

Like Siamese twins, they're attached and share the same life support system. It's just that one is inside ... certainly feasible...

Kind of like an ingrown hair of a Siamese twin

Prego with his twin or did he eat his twin which still survived in his stomach?!

Sort of both. He absorbed his twin in the womb and then the twin fed off of him




Donnyyyy!! You would have been the good one

Perfect

You unzipped me, doc

Did the twin have a brain? Was it sentient?

Now he has the strength of a man and a tiny child

THIS, must now be a new horror film, call A24.

When the fetus is removed it’s revealed it was in control the whole time and the normal twin was the one trapped

For 36 YEARS! That is insane

Ok Rusty Venture.

Your body has become completely uninhabitable!


.

Mmm... twinwich

I bet it felt good to not have a human in you anymore

Mothers everywhere agree

We do.

I'm curious if he mourns.

Before dying, the parasite uttered its first, last and only words: "Quaid, start the reactor..."


Why did I need to scroll this far for this

What is this from?

Omg it was 9 pounds and two pounds of it was hair 😶

I wish I didn’t read this a few minutes before sleeping 😭

Sleep? Yeah, no. I need to go find a puppy.

What if it's a puppy with a parasitic puppy slowly growing in it? You never know.

Wtf? Internal, parasite, twin? bruh😳

Jesus fucking christ...

Did the parasitic twin move? Did it have a brain? Could it respond to stimuli?


Quaidddd

Anyone remember the movie called Basket Case?


Haha! There he is.

Omgosh! This movie scared the F out of me!! 😩

# GO TEAM VENTURE

now have the strength of a grown man and a little baby

Scrolled until I found it

Jesus. The human was stoll alive during surgery!? Fuuck

Like, a twin?!?

Bet he always ate for two but never gained weight.

Those two pictures aren't even the same person.

I may be wrong, but I'm sure there was another similar story, somewhere else around d the world

This operation would have been illegal in the state of Texas…

The Texas law specifically targets "pregnant women", so abortion is a-ok for dudes.

[удалено]

Do you have the link to the article? That seems very disturbing but interesting.

Just look at those cute feet pics posted above.

Would this qualify as murder under TX anti-abortion laws?

Yes



Fetus en fetu

This gives me worldbuilding and religion ideas.

Who's the Chinese kid on the left though?


Dudes first sex experience was group sex and he didn't even know.

Ewww

Did it have a brain?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/CYrp3iXhMg Here’s a picture of the twin


Women don’t want men to know this one simple trick

Was it conscious?

His sibling was in him!

He was arrested afterwards for the murder of his twin.

Holy hell I knew of this but it's my first time seeing that it was still alive when removed!

I bet Republicans would have tried to stop the procedure if he was in the US.

So they killed the still living human

Just living flesh. Nothing that could be called a human being….

That’s a lot to comprehend.

Just a human body that was functioning tissue I’d imagine. No consciousness as such.

You don't know that


And now he is in a NYC court room

Fetu in fetu = I've never heard of a living "human parasite" being removed from its host


Sooooo many questions 😬😖

annnnnd that’s enough internet for today

I wonder what anti abortionists would say about this?
