You know, I found that link really, really disturbing. Those two girls are NOT “object lessons”, they’re human beings. Using them as some sort of living parable is just downright creepy - more creepy than thoughts of two-headed girls dating.
Hey, I’d hire them - why not?
The problems they face from being dicephallic conjoined twins are going to be much smaller than the problems they face from the intolerance and small-mindedness of others.
Don’t know how many are following the real operation, but unfortunately, one of the twins died about an hour ago. Very sad.
They’re both dead now. 
Unfortunately, they have both died now. Reportedly from blood loss, but there should be more details soon.
I was watching th morning news report on this…
One of the most touching things about the twins was, when questioned on the risks, part of their answer was:
“We just want to see each other face to face.”
R.I.P.
Yeah, that really sucks. It’s hard to believe that they wanted to be separated that badly. It’ instructive to remember that when the doctors tell you there’s a chance that they’ll lose you, it’s real. They really could.
I honestly don’t get the point about “object lesson.” I’ve re-read what I wrote, and I don’t understand how I said anything like that, or what you mean, Broomstick.
Die?

Well, that casts a pall over the whole evening, doesn’t it?

Not what you said - what the website said:
“Living textbook”? No… they’re little girls. Reducing them to an object lesson or “living textbook” is creepy… as if their sole purpose in life is to be “instructive” to others. I found the tone of the website to be exploitive in a subtle way, using these girls as an illustration of why we should all be good, unselfish, submissive Christians. I have to wonder if their family is even aware of this website - the Hensels have stated that they do NOT want their children used by others, even well-intentioned people.
Go for a ride on Space Mountain, where the seats are one-across!
Too bad for the twins that they both died in surgery. They knew the risks and went ahead with the operation. They took a brave chance, and I salute their courage.
Let’s, what would I do if un-conjoined…
RIP, ladies.

I’d probably go hat shopping.
Okay big hijack but WHOA, coincidence of the day. I read this post by MC Master of Ceremonies:
