I think it’s up to the parents to decide what to do. They can consult doctors and if the doctors think that conjoined twins can be separated, and if the parents want it, then it’s their right to do it. In the case of older conjoined twins, it’s up to the twins. The Hensel girls like being conjoined and seem quite well-adjusted. But other conjoined twins might desire to live separate lives. Maybe they would prefer being just regular single people.

The life of a “freak” is never easy. Such people encounter social discrimination and a lot of disabilities that are expensive to pay for medical care.

We should support the choices of the families. When parents have such twins separated it is because these parents know what difficult lives the twins will have if they remain conjoined.

If I had ever had such twins, I would make a decision based on their viability. If both could live being separated, I would ask to have them separated. If they had to remain conjoined to live I would try to help them live the best possible lives they could with their condition.

I think it’s the circus union that’s behind these type of surgeries. Job security I say, that could be the only answer.

I wanted to read the one about the guy with two penes, but it takes me to an article about the eight limbed girl.

Man, the right to lifers should get upset about that one. They basically cut out her parasitic twin… for shame! The twin coulda survived even though it had no head.

I find everybody not blessed with my handsome looks and perfect physique to be grotesquely freakish.

Am I supposed to save EVERYONE?

Have you ever visited Venice Beach, CA during the summer? Never fear, freak shows are free there, virtually 24/7. I haven’t been there in several years, but on my last excursion, I saw a group of people dancing (I think it was dancing) in a circle with tambourines and only the whites of their eyes showing. Others have broken tatoo, and body piercing records in the Guiness Book. Bearded creatures (I think they’re ladies) abound, and midgets too for good measure. And this is on an off day!
