I don't know whether to see this situation as a miracle from God, or simply proves that God actually like a kid with an ant farm, that God doesn't control everything, He just created world, and everything interacts by coincidence... If God control everything in detail, how could He let this kind of thing happens? Really I just don't know what's the truth... As for the girls, you both amazing... Have a long happy life...

As far as dating and marriage - this is a hard one full of questions. Do they marry one or two husbands? As different as they are and their desire to be individual, I would think they would want to choose their own husband. They may share the same genetics and sahre the same body, but the mind is still unique. However, one thing that I haven't heard anyone else mention.. is ok.. suppose they marry seperate husbands... how many guys are going to want to share the one set of reproductive organs, if you know what I mean. The two men would have to trust the other.. you know.. one would be mad if the other slept around and got something nasty and brought it back home. Plus, pleasing two men sexually is going to be harder on the body and more time consuming. This situation challenges several legal and moral ideas. I personally would not judge these girls for whatever choice they make, because it is up to them to figure out how to get what they want out of life. wow, how many things they have to think about, that we take for granted.

Some would say they are lucky knowing they will never be alone. I'd want to be the first one to die under those circumstances as they aren't like the Asian men who if anyone had had half a brain they could have simply tied off the extended flesh between them and then severed it and the other would have survived. But instead he laid there in mortal terror and knew he would die. Best thing would have been to give him a fast acting poison without his knowledge. I can't imagine what these young women think when they consider things like that. I do hope they get to go to the UK like they want. If they want one or two husbands more power to them. But what if one doesn't want kids and the other does? Can't force one to have a kid. Maybe they have already made these decisions. Life is grand isn't it?

I would have aborted the pregnancy without a second thought. I wouldnt want my child to be a freak show and to be talked about and be made fun of her/their entire live. The fact is they will never get married, will never find love, and will never move out of that tiny little hickville town they live in. They're secure in the town they live in and are protected by everyone that lives in that town. Im sure they act and behave normally for the most part, but the reality is they dont look the part.

I think it was the wrong decision to have the gilrs in the first place, I really do. That sounds cruel, especially in light of the fact that they seem to have adjusted astonishingly well. But its a tragedy, and an inspiration, all at once. This sounds really cruel too, but Im just being honest - one of the girls appears as if she could have a normal life, if the other werent there - her head is straight on, while the other's isnt. Sadly, this must have crossed her mind. Also, I know they dont want to exist as freaks to be experimented on - but what we could learn from them, in science, medicine, psychology...they can give so much to our understanding of these studies.

I'm fascinated by how well they work together, and wish them all the best. I think the best thing as far as marriage would be if they could find 1 guy to marry both. I'm sure if they appealed for special legal permission for a polygamous marriage it would be granted. To my knowledge, they are more conjoined than any other twins that have made it to adulthood, and I don't know if having 2 spouses would work as well as it has for other conjoined twins. Also, since their reproductive organs are shared, do they each have 1 ovary each, or genetically do the ovaries belong to just 1 girl, or are they genetically blended? If they had 2 separate husbands, you wouldn't know who's sperm would mix with who's egg and could have 4 sets of 1/2 siblings.

It wouldn't be "perverted and immoral" to have 2 husbands. They are 2 SEPARATE people! They have 2 separate minds. Each thinks for her own. Perverted and immoral in the J.C. way? Sure. What isn't though? I mean think about it, you could have 2 girls, 1 guy kind of stuff if you married them both. That'd be great. Fill both their mouths up and then make them both simultaneously cum. /hot @ Charlie:

It would be perverted and immoral to be the husband of one and not the other, and to have relations with the lower half, which belongs to both. Would a husband kiss the one and not the other. Would the husband of the left girl only touch the left breast? The one girl could just say, "Oh, I'll pretend I'm not here." C'mon... for anyone to entertain the idea is absurd. This is a tragedy (though they have handled it well), and so, because of the strange circumstances, the only right thing to do would be to never think about physical love with a man.

They are two all American girls, you want to feel bad for them, but they have taken what life has given them and are completly happy with it. I am guessing when one dies, the other will to soon after (I don't think they can be seperated ever) but with how well adjusted thay are I am sure that they would want it that way....mentaly I don't think one would be able to live with out the other at this point either. The only sad part I see for them now is the endless attention an questions they must get...but I am sure every one how gets to meet them walks away with a whole new perspective on life. I kind of wish they would be a little more in the lime light..just becouse there is alot they could teach the world...but again it's their lives and what ever makes them happy is fine by me.

They each have their own esophagus and stomach. The only organs they really share are below the stomach. Most people have TWO lungs, and many people who have lost a lung talk just fine. So they each have one lung and share the third. what's so hard to imagine? If you watch the documentary it is much easier to see that they obviously are two people in one body. It is a lot better than most peoples imagination of it. I think the danger in one of them dying is that it would be difficult for the body to deal with so much tissue death all at once. You'd have to have emergency surgery or the living body will be poisoned to death by the necrotic tissue. I'm really happy to see these girls doing even so much better than many other children their age. I'm sure they will be successful in life through their own efforts.

Ant asked how marriage works. Chang and Eng Bunker the famous Siamese twins of the 19th had separate wives. They would take turns spending time with each. That must have worked OK, as they had 10 and 12 children respectively! 2. Sam asked what happens when one dies? Generally there has to be a really quick operation to separate them, or the other will shortly die as well. That was the case with Chang and Eng. Chang died first and Eng followed several hours later. For what it is worth, Chang and Eng probably could have been (relatively) easily separated today, much more so than these girls. 1.

I always wonder about the weird things, like how are they going to handle the job world, and applying for college. What if they want different majors? Can one get a credit card, and the other not be held liable for the debt? The coolest thing from the documentary is that each girl has independent control of one arm, yet they perform tasks and motions seamlessly without discussing it. They have the hand/eye coordination and dexterity that everyone does, but essentially their brains don't communicate with eachother.
