Top 10 Interesting Stories Of Conjoined Twins

Описание: Conjoined twins (or Siamese twins) are two babies whose bodies are born fused together. Although they can be joined in various ways, there are two distinct categories: symmetrical and asymmetrical conjoined twins. The two groups have radically different outcomes.

Symmetrical conjoined twins generally have all the body parts and organs needed to live as two complete individuals if separated. The only birth anomalies occur where the twins are fused. With asymmetrical conjoined twins, one twin is often small, weak, and dependent on his sibling for nutrition. These twins may be separated to increase the chances that the strong one will survive.

Conjoined twins are not the result of a genetic mutation. Instead, they may occur when a fertilized human egg that would have become twins is only partially split. Two human beings form. But a delay in the split of the embryonic layers into two separate individuals causes the twins to be conjoined. Another theory is that two embryos combine at an early stage of development.

Here are 10 of the most bizarre cases of people who were born fused together.
