The Unbelievable Way 3 Men Found Out They Were Triplets Separated As Babies | Megyn Kelly TODAY
I am a psychology student and I know how important twin studies are for science, but consciously separating twins is extremely unethical. There are no other words for it.
Marieles Mystic Music RIGHT
Oh really?
I have a few other words for it
I kinda don’t see the big deal with them being separated, a lot of children go to different homes as children.
@@Marie01165 because they're twins (or triplets) they're born together and should be together. I know people who are twins and there's a bond between them like no other siblings. Even normal siblings they try not to seperate where possible. When put up for adoption by their birth parents, they have no other family apart from each other, they should stay together.
The fact that it was planned for them to be separated was vile and disgusting move
Yes but they probably thought that they might get adopted easier perhaps!?
OK I hadn't to that point of the video so disgusting!
*extremely wicked, shockingly evil and vile
True
Absolutely..
I just found out yesterday that we’re having triplets!!!! All boys too!!! 💙💙💙 I’m 17wks.
The Church Tribe wow congrats, what a blessing!!!!! Take care of you and yours xoxo
bee barneey thank you!! We are so excited
Congratulations 🎊 Good Luck with absolutely everything and God bless your growing family ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
The Church Tribe rip
We just lost twin boys at 17wks. They didnt make it. still had to give birth to them and on the 11th they were buried. Rip. ❤
R. I. P Eddy!! 🙏 and R. I. P To the 4th baby that died at birth.
Maan that would've been crazy with a 4th
And RIP to David's adoptive father, who embraced all the triplets as his sons.
Wonder if they met their real parents😧
Wonder if they met their real parents😧
cylynt symphonie eddy died wow
Wow that's really disturbing that researchers can separate siblings just for research. Makes you wonder what else is done in the name of science.
Worse has been done, look at the Tuskegee syphilis study.
A whole LOT
MK ULTRA, Operation Paperclip. Start with those two then work your way to Russian meddling and Big Pharma. Try not to lose it all the while.
Moneca Savoie look at the “science”experiments the Nazis did on twins and triplets during the war and this will seem absolutely nothing to you. I warn you now, some of it pretty hard to read though.
You honestly do NOT want to know the answer to that ! Kevlutu
Sad how science ruined the chance of them being together as children...
Marshmallow Rainbow d
look up the Dionne quintuplets. So sad the way those poor girls were treated :(
Kelly has ZERO warmth and empathy. She is just not simpatica.
@@Jerseybytes2 I remember these girls....
“Science didn’t do anything wrong.” This was a decision made by unethical researchers!
I am one of a triplet! We were the first set of black triplets born in the state of Missouri! My mother gave birth to twins as well! My mother was a school teacher and my father was a fire fighter! He was the first firetighter in the United States to have triplets in Missouri!
Awesome story !!
We’re the only set of twins in our family who were partially raised in Missouri. My dads family still reside there and we’re still the only twins (that Ik) raised in that town .
That's so cool, you 3 must be 80 by now. Do you still keep in touch?
Hi from Ozark, MO 😊
Triplets AND twins? That's crazy. And really cool.
For everybody who ask where the third one is:::: he comitted suicide 1995 after he gone through depression and he also had a very strict father so he never told anybody about his problems and issues he was going through...
WOW life is full of suprises
The research is still going on!
The nature vs nurture can get an answer then, nurture plays parts, otherwise all three committed suicide now!
This is so sad to hear about, the hole story is so sad.
Wow, that breaks my heart. I feel so bad for them!
Well rest in peace Eddie. And the fourth brother who never made it.
RIP
Wait what!?
The lonely cat 🤷🏾♀️
Were they quads?
@Bella Bella No, there was a 4th that died at birth
R.I.P. Eddy. How horrible he committed suicide.
These men should have never had to go through this.
My heart goes out to the remaining brothers I pray they keep close.
Is Eddy the brother that saw the other two bros in the newspaper? Or is Eddy the one that was visited at his home by one bro and the college classmate?
BlessedByHim , eddy was the one who was visited at his house
@@christiannagrace1
This is so sad and to think this story got news coverage. And folks as a collective never held those responsible even after an innocent life was lost...... it wouldn't surprise me if there are more brothers but cant come out 😟 R.i.p. Eddy
@@majormediaproductions to be boo boo boo
@@arlinejacques5414
?...
WHY WOULD YOU SEPARATE TRIPLETS!! THEM BEING TOGETHER AS KIDS COULD HAVE SAVED EDDY!! RIP TO HIM 😢
ThsGyalCrayy if Eddy lives the triplets would be still living
i dont agree. no one actaully would know why he did what he did. it could have been a pile of reasons. but yes RIP Eddy.
The adoption agency that they were adopted from were actually doing experiments on multiple births and separating Twins and other triplet this see the effects. They never told the birth parents that their twins or triplets would be separated or the adopted parents that their child that they adopted actually had siblings. The agency would check up on each child and compared them. Many of the children that were separated grew up to have anxiety, depression and separation anxiety. Plus study's show that people who experience trauma like this as an infant or child commit suicide at a higher rate than people that didn't receive trauma.
There is a documtery on this. Which includes the triplets
How’d Eddie die
@Jane Cat3 omg ....... rip
I was adopted at birth and found my siblings at age 18. We were all raised by different families. It’s eerie how similar siblings can be even if you’re not twins/triplets.
People will like anything,
I am not similar to my siblings in any form
I have 2 brothers and a sister and the 4 of us are completely different.
@@Wrldfait ah yes you didnt personally experience it happen so it doesnt happen
@@Wrldfait you might think you're not, but I bet you're more similar than you realise.
My parents divorced when I was 8 and I was then raised entirely by my mother. My dad remarried and had 4 more children, obviously raised by him and my stepmother. My oldest half-brother and I are extremely similar in our ways, despite being raised separately. But the real glitch in the matrix is that he was adopted, so there's actually no genetic relationship LOL.
These brothers were so hot when they were younger! ❤️❤️❤️
truuu
Mia Davis one of them is my neighbor
Mia Davis Yes they were😩
I still think they are hot!!
@@princesssalma6934 I think you are the first person who has acknowledged that they know them. Of course being the mother of their friends growing up and the cousin of their best friend Alan Luchs, I feel a certain kinship. I remember the hoopla when it all came out. The article in Newsday the local Long Island paper, had the whole neighborhood buzzing. My son recently admitted to me on Face Book that he had bought pot from Eddy. Needless to say that was a long, long time ago when he was in his teens. He's 55 now and I never knew. How naïve I was.
They were separated as an experiment. Inhumane on another level. My God. I have heard it all. So effing done.
Goes to BIO PARENTS allowing this, and HOW MANY people , would adopt THREE BABYS at the same time? Reality time.
Uhm... Did you miss the Mengele twin experiments Auschwitz? This doesn’t even begin to rate. Not saying any of it is. Moral, but way worse has been done.
Triplets
Unethical but extremely informative on how genetics affect behaviour in the world of psychology. Amazing.
I mean it's research
"I have 2 more sons"
WHOS CHOPPING ONIONS?????
I believe he was the same father that said that if he had known at the time his son was a triplet, he would have adopted all three.
The study records are sealed at Yale. Someone NEEDS to get them unsealed.
The study wouldnt actually be complete until all the subjects are dead. You cant have a study and then go interrupt their life it would ruin the study. Nature vs Nurture (on a side note this should have never been done to them it's sad and morally wrong)
@@dnyriaforris2404 whats the documentary called??
@@zaynab6284 Ummm...I think it's called Nature vs. Nurture.
Zaynab it’s called Three Identical Strangers
@@dnyriaforris2404 I just watched a 3mn old 60minutes video with a set of the twins and they still say the records are sealed and they can’t get to them.
OMG what’s wrong with people...those boys lost 19 years of their life as brothers😭
Their MOTHER...gave them up for adoption. She did not know the father. Are YOU READY to adopt THREE CRYING BABY'S AT ONE TIME? The expense, TRIPLE to get, than RAISE. Give me a break.
@@littleme3597 The thing is though. There are people out there who would and do.
It is wrong. period. of what they all did.
@@littleme3597 you are not their mother 😭😭😭😭 girl bye
Ikr. I would be sueing someone for all those lost years!!
@@littleme3597 The problem is not just that they separated them, which is still a huge problem though, but that they never told the adopted parents about the other brothers. In the documentary if i remember right the parents all said that they would have adopted all 3 if they knew, but even if they all could not and each could only adopt one, they could have all still had a relationship with each other growing up. The parents could have let them all meet as children and grow up together in some way. They could have still built some kind of bond as kids growing up that would have made things easier and had made up a bit for what happened, but they were never given that option.
I was given up for adoption in 1964 and found my birth parents 21 years later. They married two years after I was born. The best thing was finding my full younger sister and brother ❤💙
that’s awesome 🥰
realcanadiangirl64 why did they adopt you if they got married? Sorry if it’s inappropriate.
@@adinova4327 Not inappropriate at all. My mother was only 17 when I was born. They both wanted to get married and keep me but my maternal grandmother wouldn't give her consent. Instead she sent my mother away to unwed mothers home. I'm 100% good with being given up for adoption. I had great parents and a wonderful childhood. My adoptive parents were always very supportive of me knowing my biological roots.
realcanadiangirl64 I’m glad that you had good people as your adoptive parents. Did you try to find your biological parents or fid they try to find you? And do you now see them regularly?
Wow, same thing happened to me in 1962. My parents gave me up, but stayed together 30 more years. I have a full sister & brother only a couple years younger. Unfortunately, I didn’t find my birth family until 2000, and by then, my birth mother had died of ovarian cancer. I’ve met my siblings & birth father. Strangely enough, I’m much closer with the adopted sister I grew up with, shared a bedroom & barbies.
I'm not a twin/triplet but was separated along with two siblings. The emotional trauma and damage that is created through deceit and secrets is so painful. I worked as a psych caseworker along with my own story and it was a lot.
It makes me really sad that Eddie, who was the connection between them or what helped them get to one another is no longer alive :(
I strongly urge everyone to see the movie. It will definitely hit every nerves and emotions that you will NOT forget. It's a powerful, deep and gut wrenching documentary. What was done to them, was not only unacceptable, but unethical.
Miguel Delgado ... where can I watch it?
IT'S IN THEATRES RIGHT NOW,,,'three identical strangers',,,,,
It's playing in the smaller indie theaters. Do a search for the movie and you should get some hits
Miguel you are right on. It was gut wrenching. I would love to see it again
Superb film. And sad that this happened at all, especially considering the perpetrators were oblivious to history of The Holocaust.
The three brothers were born to a single mother in 1961. (They were actually quadruplets; the fourth brother died at birth.) At the direction of a Jewish adoption agency and psychiatrists Viola W. Bernard and Peter B. Neubauer, the three infants were intentionally placed with families of different economic levels - one blue-collar, one middle-class, and one upper-class - who had each adopted a baby girl from the same agency two years earlier. The brothers were raised by their respective adoptive families as David Kellman, Eddy Galland, and Bobby Shafran.They discovered one another by chance in 1980 and became very close, but all three struggled with depression throughout their lives, which ultimately led to Galland's suicide in 1995
ITS BECAUSE THE MOTHER HAD EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED SHE SUFFERED FROM DEPRESSION EMOTIONAL ISSUES SO HE WAS ALREADY DISPOSITIONED
What happened to the Mother? I find it odd there is no mention of the biological Mother.
I couldn't found out what happened to her
which social class was the one who died? RIP :(
so what about the sister? are the twins aswell?
I am a Triplet identical brother, but I never met my younger brother
RIP bro, see you in heaven
You have your twin tho?? ♡♡♡
@@sydneygrace2665 he's still a triplet... a surviving triplet.
@@annhayden955 yeah, I didn't mean he's not a triplet. I meant to ask if he and his other brother still had eachother, like they're still close.
I'm sorry for your loss. May God grant you peace that surpasses all understanding.
@@sydneygrace2665 yes, my brother and I are fine, thanks God
I watched the documentary on Netflix and it is disturbing. This matter should be taken to court for the files to be unsealed and unprotected for these families. The researchers should be given some form of charge and there should be laws to protect this from happening to people again. This is not ok....
What's the name of the documentary?
@@V.E.R.O. Three Identical Strangers.
Wow. They were so cute. They don't look like each other anymore
Different lifestyles, food and experiences. One was raised working-class, one middle-class and another hoity-toity.
Even with similar lifestyles it is quite common for twins (especially males) to grow up to look not as identical. Hormones play a fundamental role in a man's facial features development :)
So true
One gained weight.
That often happens over time.
I think Adam sandlar is missing
Exactly my thoughts
😂😂😂
Hahahaha! True
Don't judge me, but I don't get the Adam Sandler reference. Please explain. Thanks.
@@Yolandasherese1 the triplets look like him 😂
My twin and I once worked at the same restaurant and one guest thought my sister was the fastest waitress EVER, not realizing there were two of us lol.
Me and my twin work together and initially our coworkers were quite confused. Our customers stay confused.😂. We’re used of it by now and just go with it.
Lol
At the mention of Eddie's absence, you can sense the sadness between the brothers immediately.
This clip doesn't get to the fact that the third triplet committed suicide. One account I read attributed it to the fact that the separation was an experiment and that child never adjusted to the reality and sadness of having been separated. Who knows? It is pretty disturbing that scientists thought that it was morally okay to play with childrens' lives. Interesting story on many levels. I hope to see the movie.
Richard Fey Is there an article to reference his suicide?
That reminds me of the study where they had a boy, I think, raised to be a girl to see if you could just adapt to being a different gender. What ended up happening was that child also killed itself when it became older
Hilary C - TY so much for the link. How really sad!
PSCHOLOGISTS use the word "science" so they can manipulate and play mental games on the unsuspecting young minds - and in this age PARENTS HELP THEM do so by giving them the stream of income on which they rely to live their lifestyle!!!
PSYCHOLOGY is a FINE ARTS subject NOT a SCIENCE!!!
@Lisa Riv That was David Reimer, in case anyone wants to look him up. Such a tragic story.
Horrible!! No siblings should ever be separated.
Tell THAT to the bio parents and ASK adoptive parents to ADOPT ALL THREE! SMH. REALITY IS NEEDED . Badly on here.
You could see their heartbreak when she said “we’d say why Eddy isn’t here in a minute” 🥺💔
As an adopted person and an adoptive parents, I’d be furious to find this out, I would have wanted all three children. How cruel to the children and their families!
a cruel joke played on people in the name of science.
Where’s part2?
Psychology is a form of science?

Psychology os a social science, like sociology and economics.
one of many
I had the privilege to meet these guys in 1981, they had just been reunited. I´m glad to see them now.
I am watching this on July 12, 2019! On the triplets birthday. What are the odds of that?! Oh my gosh! Happy birthday guys! 😊❤️😆
Gosh, And I am doing it too, and 1 year after you did.😳
@@kristelmpone5350 same.😳😳
I am watching it today July 11,1 day before they turn 60😂 it's crazy
Imagine how many others were separated and may never know. 😢😢😢
I hope they sued that agency and put them out of business!!!!! It’s disgusting what they did!
Lisa DeL I hear that they were unable to get the information needed to get that type of resolution.
THAT IS EXACTLY what psychologists do - they hide their professoon and goals calling themselves THERAPISTS. You now don't need to wonder why this country has soooooooo many youth put out in society afters years and years of mental manipulation by "PSYCHOLOGISTS/THERAPISTS" - these youth treated as adults at 18 and beyond suffering from mental illness!!
Lisa DeL Technically separating them was not illegal unfortunately. What makes their story remarkable is that they were unaware of each other (their families did not know that there was siblings) and they were being observed in a nature vs nurture study.
Lisa DeL This, while cruel, was not illegal.
Lisa DeL that agency is probably long gone, and unfortunately this was probably pretty normal back then. I think it would be hard to find a family that would take three children back then.
Those poor boys not growing up as chili together . How horrible but thank God they found each other .
Angela Marcinkevich Just terrible. And if they hadn't found each other themselves. They probably still would've not known. SMDH. What a shame. Thank God for them meeting each other.
Well, Idon't think the separation served only research purposes. Most adoptive parents do not want triplets, they do not want to make a spectacle out of their families. They just want a normal family, without media staff asking questions about why the kids do not look like their parents etc.
x1 Borzi you have to see the documentary- it was a research study and it was insidious. Each adoptive family had an older sister and each birth mother suffered with mental illness.
x1 Borzi What?? They are already adopting someone else's children, so who is going to ask why there's no resemblance? There are families who adopt siblings from the same family, multiples included. If someone doesn't want to be a spectacle, then they should not go thru the process of adopting children!
Did you see the same vid, dear Caryn? These adopted boys were not told about their being adopted. One of them even tells how shocking it was for him to hear it when he was a grown-up. The parents did not tell anyone. They did not want questions, it seems. Look if you have a kid who does not look like you, that's no problem, nobodylooks at you twice. But if you have triplets, everyone will look at you and questions are asked.
They are ridiculously good looking! Even now they still are!
I’m one of three identical triplets.....we were separated at seconder school and it was a terrible experience. (We all girls.) What this triplets went through is unbelievable awfully WRONG I hope the remaining triplets remain close. RIP Eddy 💐💙💐🏴 from the highlands of Scotland 🏴
Studying twins raised apart is not uncommon, but to deliberately give them away for this benefit alone
is unethical.
Their bio mom was like, “ You get a baby, you get a baby, EVERYONE GETS A BABY!”
Shaina Hahahaha bahahahahahah this made me laugh way to hard !
Lmfaooooo
Also bio-mom:
Except me
Like Oprah. Lol
Shaina LOL!!
“He said, ‘I have two more sons!’, and he meant it!”
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Those evil researchers/scientist are sick. I believe they were one of the reasons the brother took his life. In their old interviews they all had smiles on their faces but looked sad in the eyes.
They got their answer… a parent who doesn’t support you may lead to greater odds for depression.
@@niveaortiz5296 Yeah 100%, don't need tests like these to know that lol
I remember this story when it first broke. Two brothers were right-handed, the third was left-handed. Experts on identical births said, "Wait a minute...there must be a fourth who would also left-handed." Later we were told the 4th brother had died at birth or shortly thereafter. It was shameful that they separated those children and then forced the adoptive parents to allow them to be evaluated regularly. The story was told that the adoption agency ALWAYS separated children of multiple births (monetary greed, I'm sure). Shame on the Today show people for not posting the whole story and explaining the tragedy that befell them in 1995. The boys had problems from early on because of the horrific thing of separating them and using them as guinea pigs for years after. These men and their families need our prayers and support, not criticism.
Why would they assume there would be a fourth? Back in the day left handed children were forced to write with their right hand and were usually punished if they didn't. Maybe that's what happened to the two right handed triplets.
What an ignorant crock of crap. Being right handed or left handed has NOTHING to do with the genetics of being an identical twin. In fact, identical twin pairs where one is left-handed and the other isn’t is unusually common compared to two random people in the general population. What 3rd world country’s archaic ‘education’ system did you crawl out of? I bet you think the earth is flat as well. Ignoramus.
@@V.E.R.O.Right? That's a silly reason why they think there would be a fourth multiple.
It's sad that one committed suicide. (The 3rd that couldn't come) I knew he was gone when the girl said "and we will get to way the 3rd triplet isn't here" because the other men's eyes filled with sadness and grieve when she said that. It really is terrible that researchers did that to them. Rip.
I am one of triplets. We are three girls born ‘84. We are from South Africa. Congrats to you guys and sorry to hear of the one brother who didn’t make it.
Being identical triplets is already very rare and on top of that being adopted n find each other like this is amazing
4 brothers, luckily the one who died at birth did not experience a life of pain and R.I.P. Eddie he was such a great guy.
There was not a 3rd......that's a tabloid story
@@christyjohnson2939 there were 4 altogether. The 4th died at birth and Eddy unfortunately committed suicide.
@@reddc9106 🤣🤣🤣
I 👍 agree so true what you said. I am not from a multiple birth. But felt something missing. I asked if I was adopted, I was told no asked if I had a sister. My mom got up and left room. 8years later she told me on my way to work I had a sister. When I got to work my boss' tried sending me home I was shaking I refused. I told them I couldn't handle being at home. I can't imagine 😢 the way they feel. The feeling is real I am sure more so for multiple. My sister is a ½ sister.
@@christyjohnson2939 Yeah and we live on a flat Earth and we never went to the Moon. lol.
Twins will always find a way to see each other again. There’s something spiritual about them.
It's so heartbreaking they were so close and never new for 19 years but I'm also really happy they did discovered each other at 19. Some people don't find lost family until they are middle-aged or elderly, so these guys have been able to have so much time together.
I had twins and put them up for adoption...
Not my choice...
One thing that I mandated and made sure it happened was that they be adopted out together
I am an Identical twin and I can not truly express how much what happened to the 3 of them upset me. :( My twin is my other half and I can not imagine not having her in my life. I can not explain the bond and connection we have always shared. The best description I can give is it's a pull like being two magnets. We only feels whole when we are together . My heart breaks for the two remaining brothers :(
I’m a triplet!! I can’t even imagine getting separated from them... we’re not identical but my brothers look just alike! This story is so crazy
Me too, but i know about my 2 brothers since the day i was born! I just dont live with them
My mom is a triplet (1 boy and 2 girls) and I couldn’t even imagine growing up not knowing omg
Why do liars believe that the truth won't come out at some point in life????????
What's done in darkness always comes to the light
Because they are, overwhelmingly, psychopathic, egomaniacal, narcissists who are incapable of empathy and focus on anything other than their own evil and malevolent agendas and desires.
OMG, How evil to separate the triplets, Especially when it was for an Experiment, words fail me. The Person's Responsible should be in Prison. A Very Disturbing Story, .
i just watched a video about another set of twins who were sperated and had no idea about each other..SAME adoption agency..its terrible!!!
Wow..shame.

Just seen the documentary on Netflix and I can’t stop crying, I wish Eddie was there to also share His experiences of meeting His brothers. It’s a very beautiful story but also heartbreaking.
Although Megan Kelly has a zero empathy factor the interviewees were awesome
Lol she's creepy at times. So cold.
She just wants her pay check🤷🏼♀
This is sad that these brothers were separated. They missed so much growing up as triplets! I am so happy that they found each other!
Seeing them all together when they were young, you can tell that they must have had so much fun together
Edward Scott “Eddy” Galland committed suicide in 1995 at the age of 33 leaving behind a wife and a daughter.
i was wondering were the other brother was
Rittenhaus he took his life in 2005.
Rittenhaus why would he do that omg
BeatBy Nicole life got to hard for him i suppose. Poor fella has no idea what in store for him.
@@peterh220 it was in 1995...
that's messed up they separated them on purpose and studied them like lab rats, I hoped they sued, I'm glad they found each other.
Josie Gregg how were they studied if their adoptive parents didn’t even know
They tried to sue but the case didn’t take because so many people were adopting from the organization so they didn’t want to ruin those people by not getting them their children
Did you not watch the video? It explains it!
Angelina Landolfi ķ
Josie; Blame the bio PARENTS. Goes to them, no one else.
I have twin cousins who are very polite. At my sister's wedding, they were being nice, getting drinks for the older folks. So finally the bartender calls my sister over and tells her he thinks there's an alcoholic among the guests. He points out one of my cousins and my sister started laughing hysterically, and then explains about the twins. This has become a big family story.
Suzanne Cooke 🤣🤣
Nice. :)
+salvadormarley
he committed suicide
@porpavai What are u talking about?
This makes no sense
Lady: “Did you ever pretend to be each other” Triplet: “let’s not talk about that” ....they were def running trains back in the day
😂😂😂 all aboard
“I have two more sons”
Everyone needs to see this documentary truly. It is such a fascinating story yet absolutely chilling how someone can toy with people's lives for an experiment. So crazy.
I’m glad they found each other but they should not have been lied to.
I'm so glad you all had three families. You're very blessed, despite the incredible loss, as children.
That's real sad the whole separated at birth, they should of been adopted together, so happy for them finding each other
They deserve justice this experiment messed them up for life it breaks my heart love these guys 💕
Curious that they don't mention that Eddie is dead.
It probably hurts them cause their brother died and they had just found each other but they loss a part of each other
They mention it on the second part of the interview.
I can't find the second part!
th-cam.com/video/A-WByPZuWqQ/w-d-xo.html&list=PLVn1ZdfiPPpobnp5XLAeN4yV3buKjXmhE
maybe its 2 be hurts them to talk about him
I went to see this by myself and cried all the way home. A month or two later I found out I have a half sister who is 46. My brother is 48, I am 52. I always wished I had a sister and a woman contacted him on Facebook, saying she is our sister. She sent me a dna testing kit from ancestry. The results prove it is true. I haven’t been able to meet her yet, but my brother has.
'I have two more sons' awww😭😭😭😭😭
How could you separate triplets? Sinister.....I wish these men JOY!
Butch Hare I agree the involvement on the scientists was very sinister, however if the biological parents were very young or wouldn't be able to take care of three children all at once, I can understand the reason they chose to adopt them out, sad as it may be
Missy Deyo, no one takes issue with the fact the boys were given up for adoption. No one takes issue necessarily with separating the boys to give them a better chance of being adopted. But that's not what happened here. The boys were separated as an experiment. Watch the video again.
Giuseppe Sarto I saw that they were separated as an experiment. However the parents would still need to sign off to agree to the separation of the twins - whether or not they knew it was for an experiment is a different issue. What I responded to was 'How could you separate triplets?!' Unless the parents agreed to get pregnant through in vitro or through a process that commonly results in twins, triplets or more, knowing that it was all for science, the reality is that the hospital was most likely aware of a scientific experiment or doctors seeking twins/triplets that the parent was already planning on giving up babies born in multiples. That's why I said the comment that I did. My response was to the original comment of 'How could anyone separate triplets?' Well, as I said, it is sad but I can understand parents being in a position to make that choice. The biological parents clearly had no idea the babies were going to the hands of doctors performing a scientific experiment.
It should be made illegal. New York state Senator Eugene Levy and New York state Assemblyman Steven Sanders introduced such a bill in the mid-1980s, but the bill didn't become law.
@@giuseppesarto3657 Always goes back to the BIO PARENTS...NO ONE ELSE.
It’s crazy to imagine living for almost 20 years, and then finding out you have two identical brothers. It makes me feel sick just imagining it.
This is my niece's father same story.
Tripletals separated at birth, they found each other in they teens then they found the 3rd one in their 20's... It's been over 20 years since all 3 of them met, and now they all live in Tampa, FL, but have yet to know the identity of their parents
I don’t understand all the negative comments about Megyn. She lets them speak and seems warm and compassionate. I don’t get what you guys are seeing that I’m not 🤷🏼♀️
Watched this Documentary on the plane from New Zealand to Japan and wanted to look more into it.
This is an insane story
What’s name of documentary?
They’re such great energy with great personalities when life has been cruel and people have disappointed them 😢
What a great loving story. I would like to let them how much I appreciate their stories and lives. Congrats! What a huge family reunion, I was shock about the study.
How could they do this to human beings. It’s so cruel. My heart bleeds for them.
I was adopted through the same agency 2 years before them . I very much doubt I have a twin, but I am very emotional for these guys. That the "researcher" would request in his will to keep the records closed until it was sure the triplets had died is very disturbing.
Sounds like a black mirror episode
Such a painful story.
Fate brought them together , this is truly a amazing remarkable story … wow … it’s crazy how they all found each other .
PEOPLE CAN BE EVIL FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT AND PURPOSES. Thank God they are reunited ♡♡♡
Around 6:40 the way they were all doing the classic twin, triplets thing. . . . Finishing sentences.
Then when he said the other ones dad said "I gained two more sons" ..... what a great man.
Yes that line made me cry 😭 that same dad said that if he had known about them being triplets, he would have adopted all three and in a sense he did after they all got together.
I am so happy for Bobby Shafrin grew up with him in Scarsdale glad he finally made the connections with brothers. He needed them.
what some humble, not only great looking men, but what great guys!
Kelly has ZERO warmth and empathy. She is just not simpatica.
Successful sociopath.... seems legit lol
Buster Biloxi I was watching this thinking she’s really bad.
Buster Biloxi I thought OJ Simpson killed her ?!?.. no wonder he got off .. massive hoax
I know right like show some respect and empathy!🤦🏻♀️
I quite like her. I think she is a good host. She doesn’t interrupt them or insinuate herself at all. She’s attractive, young, modern. What’s not to like? I much prefer her to many other hosts.💜
One of them look like Tom Hanks and sounds like him too!
All Jewish.
How very sad this is,It’s wonderful that they did find each other,they should have been raised together.
My ex gf was adopted as a baby. 5 yrs ago I saw a lady on a train platform in London that I knew in my heart wasn’t my ex (due to her dress sense and other things) but was an absolute doppelgänger in facial features and even down to the exact same hairstyle, I even stood close to her surreptitiously calling my exes name to see if she reacted. She didn’t. I texted my ex to see if she had been at that location that day and she said no. I so regret not talking to the lady on the train platform but how do you say to a total stranger that you think she maybe a twin of someone adopted out 50yrs earlier and not sound like a total mentalist?!!
Just saying it. Now she'll never know. Or put it on Facebook to see if it goes viral and you can track her twin.
One time I was walking my dog and there was this guy coming in the opposite direction and I noticed that he looked just like me when we passed one another.
I would've pulled up a picture of my gf, and just said, I don't mean to freak you out, but you look just like my gf, and she was adopted. Then she'd at least have her name and how to contact your gf. It would be shocking, but I would want to know if I had a twin!
I also worried that if they were related, and she didn’t know she’d been adopted that would open a whole can of worms....
Did you tell your ex about???!
I wish I found out I had a twin that would be awesome. I would feel so much less isolated and weird, knowing that there was another one of me. Haha
You don't need a twin to be awesome. Your experiences will lead you to the light at the end of the tunnel.
@Felicity - re: "Haha" = Are you indeed "laughing?" You wrote a serious comment, then conclude with "Haha." Do you do the same in daily life - laughing inappropriately?
@@warriormanmaxx8991 You sound like a real jerk
As a mother of twins I cant even imagine how infuriating this must be to them
The saddest part is that the brother not at the interview, Eddie, took his own life at the age of 33.
My cousin was born an identical twin. After delivery, they only gave her mom one baby and said the other baby died and was immediately cremated. I don't buy it.
Sugar Brown i
Sugar Brown I don't buy it either. why would the parents not be able to make the decisions on burial.
if this true wow
Sorry but id sue tf out that hospital. I’d come for everyone till I found out what happened to my baby. Periodt.
