Re: Siamese Twins
I wonder if it's possible to separate them and if so who ends up with only one leg. How do they go to the toilet I wonder, as I don't see a butt or anything like that. Interesting. I found this: Ischiopagus Ischiopagus conjoined twins Joined at the ischium (front pelvis) and lower spine (sacrum), with spines at 180-degree angles to one another. These twins can have three legs (tripus) or four legs (tetrapus). About 70% of ischiopagus twins have four complete legs. In tripus cases, the third leg is a fusion of two legs that is not controlled by either twin and is therefore useless. Masha and Dasha Krivoshlyopova of Russia (1950-2003?) were ischiopagus tripus twins, their third leg having been removed when they were 16 years old. About 14% of cases. |
