He did this so long without Shinigami powers that he "became" human for a intents and purposes. Also, they are sisters, not twins (unrelated anyway). I admit, I believe the ghost seeing part had to be passed down, but not the Soul Reaper powers. The Hogyokū would only work within range, and it was almost never in range, except when Rukia was at Ichigo's house, which I will admit happened a lot.

Sorry for the disapearing for so long on you guys, you know how life happens when you wish it would'nt. Anyway, back to the side debate. When Isshin lost he's power's he became a normal plus(for debate's sake) residing in a gigai and therefore became a...what's a good word here...uhm...oh yeah...pseudo human. This would explain the not seeing spirits(or he's claims of not seeing them atleast), but lets not forget that Isshin was still a spirit or like Rukia a powered down Shinigami. We can't state conclusively that he was completly powerless. There's also the fact that we don't know of the extent of Urahara's skill for replicating the human body for it's various uses. That brings about the major question of: How can a spirit impregnate a human woman, even when in a gigai?
