Fetus Infetus (fetus in a man)

[Myriad209]

Last night I was watching "101 Things Removed From the Human Body" on TLC. The last thing was like a fetus that has been growing inside a man for over 36 years. I said "wow..." I was just dieing to know how this process works of a man growing a twin fetus inside of them. (By the way, they showed what it looked like, and it didn't actually look like a regular human, highly deformed, but you could tell it could grow into one, it also looked particularly nasty, like a rotting alien. :yuck: )

Yes, it is an interesting phenomena. The correct term is "fetus in fetu" and if you do a google search using this term over 6000 hitsw will come up. Here is http://www.ijri.org/articles/archives/2003-13-1/obstetric_93.htm . It is generally considered to be a parasitic twin that was enveloped by the carrier twin very early on in development.

Wow, that is definitely a shocking and bizarre concept. It's hard to imagine the physical and emotional toll that growing a fetus inside of a man for 36 years would have on both the man and the fetus. I can only imagine the confusion and fear that the man must have felt upon discovering this situation. It's also concerning that the fetus appeared to be highly deformed and not viable as a regular human. This raises questions about the health and well-being of both the man and the fetus. I hope that the man was able to receive proper medical care and support during this unusual and potentially dangerous experience. It's a reminder of the complex and mysterious processes of the human body and the potential for rare and unexpected occurrences.
