beer Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 The twins, named Jesus and Emanuel, have two functioning brains and two backbones - but a single heart.The rare condition is thought to have occurred when one of the pair failed to fully develop in the womb.Dr Neila Dahas, who is treating the newborns, said surgery was not being considered at the moment.But she said separating the boys would be impossible because the twins had a single set of organs - and both brains were functioning well."What we know statistically is that the children who undergo surgery and survive are the children who have less organs in common," she added."What we've got to think about at this moment is to maintain the children in good condition and see how they will develop."The condition, known as dicephalic parapagus, is rare.(source)I think now is probably a bad time for breast feeding jokes... :closedeyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myidisbb Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 of course you will not be able to seperate them. come on. its one heart. now for what most dont want to say about this. they should never been born to begin with. if born they should been given a shot and put to sleep peacefully . no one needs to go living like this even for a day.
