Medical science has progressed exponentially in recent times, but scientists are still left with unanswered questions when it comes to the human body. "Medical Mysteries" looks at some of the rarest disorders and syndromes in medicine today. Identical twins are fascinating -they can look the same, can act the same and often share similar thoughts, even when one is unaware the other twin exists. ABC News tells the story of two women - twins adopted separately at birth and reunited in mid-life. Then ABC News reports on a fight for survival when twins attached to the same placenta struggle in the womb for the nutrients they need to survive. TTTS, or Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome, confronts parents with brutal choices. Faced with losing either one or both of the twins, they must often choose between risky laser-surgery or termination. The report looks at two couples afflicted by TTTS. ABC News follows one couple on an emotional rollercoaster as they do whatever they can to save their babies, while the other couple provides perspective on what can be gained or lost in this life-and-death drama. Finally, could it be a medical first? His neighbors know him as Sanjay Kumar, the pregnant man. For much of his 36 years, Sanjay has had a belly so distended that he looks like he is about to deliver a baby. Expecting to find a tumor, doctors operate. What they find is Sanjay's long lost twin, a deceased silent passenger borne by Sanjay through the decades.
