Why haven't we seen such in Africa.God certainly have something against white ppl
there are worse cases in Africa. God is God... but one truth remains, they are loved because even the atheist over there is sincere and has a good heart compared to the black race. To think that God is against them is wrong thinking.

They shouldn't be allowed to be driving because they have 2 brain and they could be confusing each each while on wheel.
imagine if one think of blaming brake for a little pothole and the other think think of driving over it.

Or what do you guys think ?
did you read the part where the writer said thy bot passed driving test. Obviously only one brain will do the driving

I'm sure you meant to say God blessed white people. People like this are born in every part of the world, including Africa, everyday. They only survive in first world countries because of advanced medical facilities and good parental care. In Africa, they would either be labeled demons and murdered shortly after birth or they would die of lack of adequate care.

You should have simply said that you've not heard about them. Many conjoined twins have been born in Nigeria.

I thought SIAMESE TWINS can be separated by modern medical technologies.

Why is their case so challenging?

Is it this way they are going to live the rest of their lives together?

Fun enough they still find time to smile to the public in this their miserable condition.

The world we are living in is wicked!

The medical expedition is gonna be intriguing! Good observation though.
iamdotune:
Wait o who controls the both arm and legs or do they control it separately
Like if they want to walk does Abby wait for Brittany to move her leg forward and she follows along or how And do they have to share rounds of spoon to eat since nutrition affects both and who gets to feel they should ease their self or they feel it at the same time and if I slap Brittany would Abby feel it? Also do they gist theirselves before they sleep at night like normally when you think at night so they could just have someone to talk to
And what if argh I've got a lot of questions I've to meet them in person! angry

Funny

God has something against white ppl grin

I believe it happens here too. We ar not just civilized like them.
Here the parents and the doctor would conspire to send them back to where they are coming from.

Its pathetic though

That's no miserable condition, they are happy together & that's why you see them smiling.

[quote author=gabonsky post=58751110]Abby and Brittany Hensel took the world by storm when they appeared on TLC. The conjoined twins have spent most of their lives in the public eye, showing the world how siblings who are conjoined go through with every day tasks.


Abby and Brittany share a body, but have two separate heads and brains. They are completely different people and emphasize they want to be treated as such.


This is the break down of how their body is distributed:

2 heads
2 spines merging at the coccyx and joined at the thorax by sections of ribs. Surgery was employed to correct scoliosis.
2 completely separate spinal cords
2 arms (originally 3, but rudimentary central arm was surgically removed, leaving central shoulder blade in place)
1 broad ribcage with 2 highly fused sternums and traces of bridging ribs. Surgery was employed to expand the pleural cavities.
2 breasts
2 hearts in a shared circulatory system (nutrition, respiration, medicine taken by either affects both)
4 lungs with the medial lungs moderately fused, not involving Brittany's upper right lobe; three pleural cavities
1 diaphragm with well-coordinated involuntary breathing, slight central defect
2 stomachs
2 gallbladders
1 liver, enlarged and elongated right lobe
Y-shaped small intestine, which experiences a slightly spastic double peristalsis at the juncture
1 large intestine (one colon)
3 kidneys: 2 left, 1 right
1 bladder
1 set of reproductive organs
2 separate half-sacrums, which converge distally
1 slightly broad pelvis
2 legs


Watching Abby and Brittany grow up through TLC specials, the world saw them go to school, celebrate their birthdays, and even get their driver's license (yes, they each had to pass separately.)

Abby and Brittany's parents contemplated separation, but ultimately decided against it because it was likely one of the twins wouldn't survive.


Their first appearance on TV was in 1996 on The Oprah Winfrey Show. The twins captured everyone's hearts with their upbeat attitudes and positive views on life.


In 2012, their last TLC special aired which ultimately turned into a full-blown TV show for them. Since 2013, however, they have been keeping a relatively low

Intelligent questions. I was wondering if they could drive and since it's obvious that they have two brains, which of them controls the pedals and steering
