Truely Amazing

Truly amazing video from a TLC channel special.
A set of conjoined twins, well, more like one body with 2 heads.
Really interesting.

That they both eat kinda suprised me. One Social Security number or two? One driver's license or two?

I guess you could definately call them inseparable.

Re: Truely Amazing

I saw that show. They have 2 driver's licenses, they do school work as 2 people. The show mentioned but didn't address how they would get paid at a job. If they are considered 2 people, how would one get married, or both get married to 2 other men, or if they have one reproductive system, who is the mother or father. OWWW my brain hurts.

Re: Truely Amazing

I wish I had seen the entire show.
So many unanswered questions.
Like, who controls which body parts?
Does each one control a leg?
Do they share any senses, how is the sense of touch distributed over they body?
At what point would marriage become polygamy?

At what point are you cheating on your wife? When your wife says so. d

Re: Truely Amazing

It looks like a case of highly functional parasitic twins to me. The left twin (their left) appears to have control of the left arm, and the right twin appears to have most of the rest.

If one goes out drinking, can the other be the designated driver? If they are ticketed for speeding, which one gets the ticket? If one loses her license, can the other keep hers?

What might be the ramifications of reproduction?

It is a sad thing to live that way.
