"If I were she, I might feel very creeped out or very blessed, sort of like I was a mausoleum for my dead never known sister."

She'd be looking at it the wrong way then. Neither sister was any more "dead" than the other. She is parts of -both sisters- in a very real way. Some organs with the genetic sequence of one and some with the other.

I think even if the brain was all based on one genetic makeup, it still wouldn't be "one" sister that survived. The entire endocrine system greatly affects people's personalities.

I find this absolutely wild.

Actually you are correct but your explanation would totally creep me out, mine sort of is within the realm of understandable or comprehensible. I couldn't personalize or comprehend being two people. But I could comprehend having parts of a dead twin. At any rate, this is fascinating to me to. There is actually no her, no set of dan that could be called her. Wonder what her brain is.
