In this weeks episode, Sam educates us on the deliberately divided twins and triplets of the Louise Wise Agency. In an attempt to study "nurture vs. nature," psychiatrist Peter Neubauer purposefully separated identical sets of twins and triplets when adopting them out. Listen to find out why he did this, what effects it had on the subjects of his study, and what information was shared. *Trigger warning for brief mentions of mental health and suicide*
