I've always wanted to produce twins with my partner one day. It's not a huge thing where everything and everyone is a failure if it doesn't happen but I just thing it would be a cool deal.

Anyhow does any particular parameter/s determine this? It has to be the female right...producing a second egg?

I dunno. My father is a twin, and my mothers sisters are twins and someone told me the chances of me and someone having twins is heightened.

Is this so and I'd assume these days with modern medical science you could make sure you do have twins if you wanted to (fertility drugs have produced multiple births...surely they could put into control a way to make sure you had twins right?) Is that legal to do so?

Anyone here a twin? I remember yoplait saying she was once upon a time. I have some really close friends that are identical twins (2 sets of twins and I'm friends with all of them - so 4 unique people )

Twins are a freak mutation of nature when the egg splits on its own or two eggs are dropped and fertilised, I don't think it's possible to actually manipulate it into happening.

Someone obviously haven't seen a little hollywood success called "junior" :P

You are far more likely to concieve a twin if your partner is African, and far less likely if your partner is East Asian.

Not sure about other races.
