    There’s a lot of heavy lifting by a lot of words in there. Saying the baby has a “biological sister” is at best a half truth and more like a total falsehood. I have a half sister out there somewhere that was adopted away that I’ve never met. And that’s far more close than this scenario.

      Personally, I disagree. The baby’s bio sister is, literally, a biological sister whose DNA comes from the same parents.

        Only the egg. And that egg went in a different mother, and was inseminated by a different father. I’m not a biologist but I feel like the mother who bore the baby also contributed some amount of DNA. It’s like when someone gets a heart or liver transplant, they often change their personality a bit. I read about a guy who got a heart transplant from a guy who died rock climbing, and suddenly got big into fitness, art and his taste in music changed.
