Abigail & Brittany Hensel - The Twins Who Share a Body

O.k. so what happens if one wants to get married? What if they get pregnant and one wants an abortion and one wants to keep it? What if they're driving and they get in an argument about where they want to go? There are so many questions in a situation like this!

Would be worse if they were male and one was gay!

I know they have seperate brains, making them 2 distinct personalities, but to me it's just a 2-headed human.
Can't understand why they call them twins

I don't think it's up to us to decide their personal life. It's a very unique situation that we can't even fathom; we should be thinking more about understanding than what we think they should do, that's their personal choice.

a couple of problems that I can see is that the strain on the heart pumping blood to 2 brains. Although they appear to be healthy and "normal" I suspect that the both suffering a degree of brain damage.

Nevertheless we could learn quite a lot from the way they have been accepted in the community and the way they cooperate with each other. A heartwarming story that risks being turned into a freak show if the mainstream media decides to do so.

I believe its because they were originally supposed to be 2 separate children and a mix up in the womb caused them to either not separate completely (more likely) or they fused back together dramatically.

A two headed person would be a mutation, more likely if they only had 1 brain, or maybe half a brain in each?.......

I don't understand how they can have two brains but their body movement is in sync. There seems to be no struggle deciding which way to move. Say they are driving a car and are approaching a yellow light. You would think one would try to apply the brakes sooner than the other but there is no hesitation in their movements. That baffles me!
