they DO NOT reproduce like humans, i can tell you that. our class saw a video on flatworms like 3 weeks ago, so I’m up-to-date! all flatworms have both male and female organs and reproduce while ‘penis fencing’. 5 small ‘penises’ come out of the lower body of the worm, then they stab each other until one is squirted with sperm. the one who has been squirted with semen must then undergo birth.
