Conjoined Twins
I just looked at CNN.com to catch up on news because I realized today that I have not watched TV for over three months, and i felt out of the loop. As I went through the health section of the website I came across a headline reading, "Conjoined Twins Seperated in 14 Hour Op." The article state that the twins were only four months old, and they were attached at the chest. As of now they are in intensive care, but stable. I thought this story was interesting. It is crazy that we have the medical advancements to be able to seperate two babies who share major internal organs in just 14 hours. I've watched a show about siamese twins on channels like TLC, but their surgeries were not as difficult as this, because they shared some things such as arms or legs. I think it is crazy to think that a deformity such as this exists. That two human beings can grow together in such a way within their mother. It is something that I find pretty intriquing though.
