16-year-old joined twins....

http://www.hemmy.net/2007/01/07/conjoined-twins-abigail-and-britanny-hensel/

This is so bizarre to see... I wonder who controls what limbs...

I personally don't think I could deal with something like that (as in myself being joined to someone)... that'd be tough.

Weird. You sure it's not a hoax? A nice bit of CG? It's kinda weird that it's not like there's two bodies, just two heads. I don't think I could cope with that either.

I saw these girls on TV. They're for real.

I think it works more in our favour, there are strange and seemingly undesigned things in nature too. I admit that evolution creates the illusion of design but it can break that illusion too.

They are real. Where is your

They are real. Where is your god now? Google image search is like a freaky family album on them. I am glad to see them still healthy (and with breats, I can not lie to count them).

One of them controlls one half of their body, noone thought they could ever walk but they can run and ride a bicicle. They have 4 lungs and 2 hearts, 2 stomaches and anything below that is "normal". They have different characters, preferences and different favourite foods.

They surely had a complicated puberty.

I admit I thought similarly but I didn't want to lower the tone of the conversation.

So basically they're a superhuman!!

Man, that's freaky

Man, that's freaky looking.

It's good that they can lead a pretty normal life though, despite being stuck together. Most conjoined twins are not so lucky.
I guess if you had been stuck to your brother or sister since birth it would seem normal to you.

I wonder how it would affect them emotionally if they could be separated.

I'd hit it. More then once mind you.

Oh also, I might have intercourse with them after beating them. 

 

It's pretty interesting to see how DNA can change with mutations like this though.

Actually conjoined twins aren't a mutation.  It's a fertilized egg that only partially separated.  Had the separation been complete, they would have just been identical twins as happens every day.

I knew that since grade 5. I meant by mutation as a process to cause these things. They call people with more then 1 leg, or arm a mutation when most of the time it's a partially seperated egg.

You're absolutely right. 

You're absolutely right.  It's a matter of folks understanding the proper use of the word "mutation."

Hahah! I didn't see that on the page. And if one fell in love and wanted to have sex...would they put a bag on the others head? Do they both feel the pleasure? If they share a pelvis would they both orgasm. Would it be considered polyamory? ALL these questions!  Smiling
