How amazing are they???

I saw a programme about them when they were younger. You just have to admire them.

yeah they did a programme when they were 12 and it was amazing, so when I heard they were doing an update I was totally looking forward to watching them, they are amazing girls and have a strong family and friends unit that is lovely to watch, it was sad to think that people could be horrible to them when they are just 2 young girls, but I wish them all the best xx

I missed the beginning, how was their body shared/divided?

I saw that earlier programme - it was lovely to see them still doing so well.

I wonder if it's because they live in a small town that they're able to live such a normal life? People who live in big cities can get quite isolated if they are in any way "different" whereas everyone seems to know them where they live.

Would love to explain...will try but will be crap...they had a spine eachbut in the one trunk and they had an arm each, and couldnt feel the other touching the other arm IYKWIM.
Really nice girls.

One of the doctors explained it as being more divided the further you moved up their body. Apparently that's a good thing in terms of their long term survival as they have 2 hearts and 2 sets of lungs. They have separate spines but share a pelvis. I think their stomach etc is shared.

The propect of relationships with men is a whole can of worms isn't it? Complicated.

That was wild!
