        • where do I begin and the outside world begin?
        • these experiments raise some very fundamental questions about who the individual being is. If all the cells of the blastdoderm normally form a single individual, but by a simple mechanical process as a scratch can restart the "individual" program and create more embryos (future individual human beings), then where would the boundary be between self and other (conjoined twins)?

        • multiple beings can simultaneously emerge from the same cellular soup (blastoderm) - twins, triplets, etc
        • phenomena of synchronization between twins
