    Default In theory would I be able to use my twin as a donor?

    Not going to do it, but I just wondered when I read on a site that you can't use donor hair... She definately has hair to spare, but I have never even researched the genetics of twins, just came into my head whilst reading.

    Would be cool. I myself am 1/3 of a mixed triplet, the other 2/3 being my two sisters with super-thick hair.

    As far as I know identical twins can use each other's donor hair, non-identical twins cannot.

    Too bad we cant clone ourselves and take all of the clones donor hair. I would feel bad for the clone tho.

    I can see a few ethical issues being raised here.

    Hahahaha!

    "Hey, Sis, would you mind shaving your head and having a strip of hair cut out from the back of your scalp then cut up and placed into my head?"

    "Yes, it'll leave a scar and yes, you'll be bald and scarred for at least 3 months, but it won't hurt!...much."


    Can see that one going down really well.

    She hit me with a rock when I was younger so I have a scar on back of my head from that, she owes me.
