Conjoined Twins - Abby, and Brittany Hensel

I would love to see how long there shits are.

It's best to ignore attentions whores. Just hit the "thumbdown button" and censor them.

First of all, it's the right of the parent to decide whether to terminate a pregnancy. It may be different in your society, but in America that is where it stands.

Any normal human would say [to conjoined twins] no? That's quite a blanket generalization of all humans. You can't decide what is the best case solution to complex situations like this for "all humans". That's a fallacious premise.

@bachjupp
You would have us ask ourselves, "Would you like to live like this?". Of course not. But don't stop there. Ask yourself, "Would I want to contribute to society if I was born as a conjoined twin?". Yes, of course I would. What's the point of living unless you have something or someone to live for.

@bachjupp
What's the point of living unless you have something or someone to live for. These girls are doing remarkably well and fulfilling their educational requirements so that they may contribute to society, if you were to limit to scope of your arguments to what they can contribute to society.

They share the same circulatory system. The fate of one girl in all likely-hood will seal the fate of her sibling. But, life is about living and the sisters are proving the doubters and haters wrong.

@bachjupp, ask yourself this:

Would one pose these questions you have to ANY CONJOINED Twin to their face if one could?

Would one pose these questions you have to ANY CONJOINED Twin's community where they live to their face if one could?

The answer you arrive at will reflect more about you than about the society you question.

i would rather live like this than not live at all. it would obviously pose a problem a lot of the time, but only by the standards of people not in their situation, ie. you and me. they did another interview years after this, and, what do you know, they still seemed pretty happy, so i'm not sure exactly what suffering you're talking about. again, it's their lives, so only they should decide whether they would rather live them or not.

Well you really are a very seldom case, since everyone I've posed this question to would prefer not to have been born than to live a life like this. You are amongst the minority. i.e. people who would consider living like this 10 times worse than never being born. I am guessing you are also very religious? Someone who is part of the clique that adheres to the world being 5,000 years old? Do tell

i'm actually not at all religious, just very appreciative of life. sorry to jump at you in the first comment, guess i didn't realize most people would not want to live like this at all. :/
