No, some woman had these twins.

Un-uh guys. Biologic systems do not "regress to the mean."
This suggests that two light skinned parents can indeed have
a child this is either lighter-than or darker-than both parents.

That's how biology works. If it did not, there would be no people
with blond hair after the 200,000 or so years that we have been
inter-mixing.

Genetics experts say that in most cases a mixed-race woman's eggs will be a mixture of genes for both black and white skin.

However, much more rarely, the eggs may contain genes for predominantly one skin colour.

There's a black couple living in the United Kingdom with twins as well.

One twin is black. The other twin is blonde haired and blue eyed.


Science works in mysterious ways my friends..........

There are over 250 IVF clinics in the US alone.

According to DateLine NBC college aged women possesing certain desirable "characteristics"
are paid on average $5,000 to $10,000 per egg.

Ahh.... the progress of science.

More and more people are choosing to genetically design their children.
IVF clinics are now seen by investors as huge return investments.
IVF clinics make alot of money.
