Abby and Brittany Hensel: Conjoined Twins - Quick Q&A

A quick Q&A with Abby and Brittany Hensel, the conjoined twins that share one set of legs, one set of arms and several internal organs (except their heart and lungs).

Each twin controls her half of their shared body and against all odds they live an exciting and happy life surrounded with friends and family.

Imagine them having an argument they'd be saying the same thing

[samah]

I love how they finish each other's sentences. Or say something at the same time.

[chaimaidmoussa]

Basically, they're holding each other's hands and it's just the sweetest ever :( i love it so much how they talk at the same time and finish each other's sentences ^^

Ive never heard the the phrase, “our stomach”

I really, REALLY wanna know the neuro science behind this. Like their thought processes seem to be very similar, and yet their personalities can be different, and it's incredible. It's unbelievable because I have no idea what it'd be like to be in their shoes... I'm astonished, completely.

From what I know about conjoined twins, they are literally identical twins who happened to get physically connected together while still inside the womb for whatever reason. There are many variations of conjoined twins, such as what you seen in the video or the more severe cases where people are connected at the heads. If I remember correctly there have been many success cases of less severity of twins being joined at the hip, and surgeons successfully separating them at birth. Those cases went on to live full, and separate individual lives. The Twins in video finishing their sentences is probably just a product of living every moment of every second together.

2 people with one heart ?? I'm confused but they are very strong girls God bless them

[ellamarks]

Why is no one else asking how they use the BATHROOM?
What about sex?
Marriage?
Kids?

UGH SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!

[hobsdigree]

I saw them at a bar once. I thought it was interesting, but they looked like they were having fun and I didn't want to be another person bugging them, so i went on my way. Glad to see they are living life to the fullest together.

[amelonnamedkate]

I heard one of them is married now. How does that work? Genuinely curious

[Mushruums]

I think their potential dating life is the most interesting questions

[Vechronicaa]

I have like 192843 questions. This is SO interesting.

[daniellespence]

There is so much innocence and purity in them. I wish them well

[welkom]

They are teachers now. Kudos to them, very inspiritional.

[sheenufilms]

I think it's really scary that although they both seem to have a brain of their own, they sometimes share a mind and say the same thing at the same time. Creepy.

I'm 59 and this is one of the most amazing, fascinating and inspiring things I've ever seen.

[CockAndBallTorture.]

1. If one commits a crime do they both go to jail?
2. If one dies wtf happens to the other?
3. Do they have the same job?
4. Does one control all limbs or are the controls shared?
5. If one eats will the other one feel full
6. If one is left handed that means the other is right handed?
7. What’s your favorite color

[pjedenn]

The fact they finish each other's sentences is really quite amazing 😄

[Coyoteari]

The mental disconnect I’m having between my ice cold science brain that wants to know EVERYTHING about them by whatever means necessary, & my human brain that knows they’re people and deserve respect as such regardless of how unique & fascinating their medical condition is, is, frankly, staggering
