Ellen and Melanie were 23 when they first met. They were part of a secret ‘twin experiment’. – Mamamia
Twins separated at birth: Melanie Mertzel and Ellen Carbone were part of Dr Peter Neubauer’s study on the ‘nature versus nurture’ debate.
The real purpose of the study was kept secret. What the identical twins and parents didn’t know was they were essentially guinea pigs in a long-term study, designed by famous New York Psychiatrist Dr Peter Neubauer, aimed at answering the age-old ‘nature vs nurture’ debate.
