It was an emotional reunion團圓.
Elizabeth Hamel and Ann Hunt, twins:
Oh, how lovely to see you in the flesh真實的.
Ann grew up never knowing she had a twin. Elizabeth stayed with her mother, who was in domestic國內的, 家庭的 service and could afford to bring up only one child. It wasn't until last year, with the women in their late 70s, that Ann discovered she had a twin sister, now living in America.
Ann Hunt:
You're meeting someone in the flesh for the first time, and you know that you've been in the womb子宮 together for eight months.
The sisters have agreed to take part in a research programme looking into the lives of reunited twins. Dr Nancy Segal is the director of the Twin Studies Center at California State University.
Dr Nancy Segal:
We want to get a comprehensive全面的 overview of their lives, their abilities, their interests and really put it all together as an important case study, because this is the world's longest-separated pair of twins.
Ann and Elizabeth plan to spend some time together. They have two lifetimes of memories to share, and new families to get to know.
