I can’t believe the hamsters let me down like this.
The girls, born as part of triplets with the boy, were born joined from the chest to mid-abdomen and apparently share other lower parts of the body. In the picture it looks like basically a two-headed infant. :eek: Poor kids. The doctors don’t think surgery to separate them is a possibility.

I had to share that with SOMEBODY.
Boy that’s sad. But those girls in the US who are conjoined in much the same way are very happy, very social, very well-adjusted kids. No, their lives aren’t going to be normal, but I think they can still attain some level of happiness. I sure hope so.
Maaan, that is freaky and sad.
Poor babies 
Poor kids, it’s also likely that they’ll have assoicated congenital defects that won’t crop-up until they’re older. And there’s also the added strain on the body from supporting two humans at once.
Sometimes life isn’t fair.
I saw a special that featured the girls who were mentioned by Kalhoon. I think they were 8 or so at the time of filming. They had to cooperate to do just about anything–walk, run, ride a bike, etc–because the girl on the left controlled the left arm and leg, and the girl on the right controlled the limbs on that side.
