This is a very good article about a Radio 4 programme “DOES
an original work of art have more value than a copy...and if so, why?” Twins Lindsey
and Karen joined in the discussion and this is what they had to say.
“Our part in it was to discuss what
it is like to have a genetic copy of yourself, do you feel the same and what
are your differences?”
But what was it like as a twin being
involved in a discussion about ‘copies’?
Karen said: “We don’t get offended if
people mix us
up and we don’t feel any less
individual if people mix us up, but then we don’t know any different. I look at
Lindsey and it is like looking in a mirror.
“We don’t feel we have to go out of
our way to be the same or different. We have similar hair but that is the way
we feel our hair suits us. We might look more different if we were striving for
individuality but we don’t feel any less of a person because there is someone
very similar to us either.”
