Wait the conjoined twins had kids? I can imagine how awkward that would be.
You just put that image in my mind

Imagine how weird it is to frick one conjoined twin while the other just lays there
I mean the other twin is along with the dates and outings, they're in the relationship too. Wait, at what point is that considered polygamy??
foursome
it would be very akward
Just reading a book while her twin gets her belly button rattled
they would have a foursome with alternate thrusting between the 2 chicks
Imagine pulling up to a red light and seeing a driver with two heads. Just imagine.
Tbh I would be a little afraid. Its human nature. But you still need to treat them as humans
I would likely be freaked out of my mind
I would be scared but at least they're human and they're not some aliens
Uh, yeah, okay. Tuesday in Florida
I would honestly be confused at first.
ME: SEE THIS IS random stuff i always need to know.
Joley D. Nice grammar
LOL
Same😂😂
Its more useful than most stuff they teach in school
school doesn't even teach us this thats why we have OUR DEER RUclips. RUclips can teach me a lot of thing Obvi
So these dudes were conjoined and had kids
I can't even get a txt back
Maybe you should text someone else.
Ikr
Sorry my dude
Txt tomorrow x together lol
How would they... *_ya know.._* AHEM..
What if they can't be separated and they survived but one of them got rejected in a college or university and accepted in a different one 🤔
fr though 😂
I think they'd just let them both in anyway. What're you gonna do?
@@bsadewitz Well, you know.. If that ever happen.. I mean like they didn't tell their condition while applying online...

This video should have been titled "everything about conjoined twins, EXCEPT how doctors actually separate them"
no they did say where and how they do it -_-
Parsplayz yea :/
Worse than you making me this comment is how many likes it got considering they DID actually say how they're separated
Why does this comment have the same energy as someone trying to figure out how to change their own car oil smh
Dude I said the same thing what the heck🤔
Wait wait wait, so what happens in you're a conjoined twin and you're attached via vital organs and one of you dies??? Like what can they do 💀 especially back in the days they wouldn't try and separate you
Depending on how they're joined, the loving one can more or less act like a life support machine. The dead on is 100% brain dead but the living one may be able to keep having the organs work. But that may not always be the case. Sometimes if they say, have one heart and share, the one heart may only be present in the one twin and their brain may control it. If that twin dies then the heart would stop functioning. In that case, the other may die. But if they're more independent when tlaking about organs, they may be able to be separated or act as the others life support. Though I imagine they probably wouldn't live much longer. I couldn't imagine the mental toll it would take to litterally be dragging around your dead twins body 24/7. Imagine having to sleep every night knowing that your sibling is laying there next to you dead, and you can't get away. I don't think I'd be able to handle that and im sure the same may be for many others. Especially since not only twins, but conjoined twins, tend to be extremely close (and not just physically.)
Actually this did happen to one conjoined twins once look it up to I 🤔 think baby twins when one died the other one survived but had to be saved by being split apart

0:05 "Occuring in only one of one-hundred thousand live births"
That's actually higher than I thought it was
Remember, sometimes these twins are joined at something like the finger; foot; or hip. Many times these conjoined twins are only conjoined by a small bit of skin or a little bit of bone. These surgeries sometimes only take from around a few minutes to a few hours and healup very fast.

Its crazy that twins are even a thing its amazing
I always think how some primitive tribe who never saw twins would react
What's really crazy is somebody that has your exact YT username used to follow me on iFunny
My mom and aunty are twins(they have different twins) and also their mom (my grandmother) is also a twin so their is a 100% chance that me or my sister could have one pair of twins
ffliberty nope she is like 6 years older but i think when I get older I might have twins

Im a twin, and me and him look nothing alike, it's pretty nice having a brother in the same grade as you so you can both do stuff together since you both can relate on things. Its nice
there's also the case of Sydney and Lexi Stark (don't call them the "Iron Twins"), who were separated easily due to only having a small flap of skin dividing them. interestingly, when sleeping or distressed, they tend to revert back to their conjoined position. they claim that it's a sort of comfort position.

i'd walk away at that point.
It must have been so awkward the first time one of the "Siamese" made love to his wife. They obviously made it work, to have produced 21 kids between them.
My sister had monoamniotic twins (MoMo twins). It’s a rare type of twins and are always identical. The doctors told her the chance of both surviving was extremely low and the chance of one surviving was higher, but still low.
They were born 3 months premature and one died the following day, the other was kept in the NICU under isolation.
The surviving one is still going strong 👏🏼
I am a part of a conjoined twins and I survived! I am living happily now
Ash The Pokemon Master wow incredible!! How were you conjoined??
@@smiley8106 idk, but they separated us with great risk.
Smiley Jpg science experiment gone wrong
What about your sibling?
Tomi Animations both of us are living a normal life. With distinct scars marking the separation of our bodies when we were conjoined.
Abby & Brittany said that the best part of being conjoined is that they're never alone
Imagine one person commiting crime and other had to jail with them.
Well I mean it would make sense. If your conjoined you have some control over your sibling and if not tough luck for you I guess.
Tough tough
well if it was the same body tthey basically both commited the crime

Dude, your channel is awesome. Your topics are all over the place, never know what's coming next.
I remember years ago when i was in middle school watching a story on the news about a pair of conjoined twins that shared a heart. The worst part was that neither could survive if left together and surgery could only save 1 as they only had a single heart to work with. The poor parents were stuck with the choice of which one to try and save, and which one to have the funeral for. I cant imagine their pain, the surviving baby did pull through and they were able to convert the heart to a proper one for a single person. I cant imagine how that child will have felt when she finally learned how she was born, and what happened to her sister.
Eng and Chang had a bed built for 4 though, and even though Chang was the more dominant twin, his brother Eng still had more children with the total of 21 kids coming from the twins and their wives
Apparently Chang had fallen in love with a woman, and Eng decided to marry her sister, and even though they weren’t in love, they made it work. Since the boys were twins and the women were siblings, I bet the kids got mistaken for being all siblings 😂 it’s all the same dna, so not much variance
...and that kids is how the universe was made
I don't think thats how the unvirse was made
I'd that's how the universe was made, where do babies come from?

My nephews are twins, dizygotic, a boy and a girl. They're healthy, there were no complications or anything, but the weird thing was that there was no history of twins in my family, both mother and father were "normal", no taller than average, no overweight, none of them was over 30 and they didn't use fertility treatments. So we were all very surprised.

My cousin is a twin who had 2 sets of twins (quadruplets) identical at that!!! Her husband had twin brothers as well.
It's true that Nigerian has the highest rate of twins, I have Nigerians friends who are Twins called Alex and Alfred(yomi and yemi) in their language, I'll definitely show then this video 👍
It's false, benin is country with most twin births
i knew a pair of nigerian twins too!
For the two-headed twins, how in the world do their nervous systems work?? Like their two spines connect into one at some point, then still function? Or maybe their body has two whole spines, but nervous connections throughout the body are made that connect to both spines, allowing for both to control all of the body. This is a very interesting case study

In the first grade, i had a girl in my class who had an identical, same gender, twin. In the second grade, i had a boy who looked A *LOT* like me and other students would joke about us being twins. At 7 years old, that was pretty funny to me.
In jail, they'll get their wig split for free
GG12 haha nice
abby and Britney originally were meant to be separated when they were under three years old, however as they grew it was pretty clear separation would be fatal, little fun fact they were actually born with a "third" arm, i say third in quotations because it was actually two arms fused together think of putting your hands together so the arm had no palm and was non functional so when they were a few months old it was removed
Cool.. very informative 😯

Two conjoined twin brothers just celebrated their 61st birthday's on October 10, 2019! Libra twins how cool. 🎉🎉👬🙂🙂♎♎ Libras' Rock!
6:11 Actually, that documentary came out in 2006. Infographics must have that dating confused with a 2012 miniseries the twins did depicting their early post-college lives.
I went to Highschool with 2 girls who were joined at the head. They were already separated though and I found out years after I met them. I used to work with one of them too. My town did a news story on them when they were born
I love you channel it just answers all of my curiosities

You gotta love how the parents that just lost their two newborn twins can't help but look only mildly disappointed while standing in front of their shared grave.

Can’t imagine being stuck to my brother... he would annoy tf out of me
Happy New Year!

I just can’t😂😂😂😂
Imagine how annoying it would be as a conjoined twin when you have to go to toilet
What if one twin dies does the other have a dead body stuck with him
bro fr. i cant imagine how sad they are when their sibling who was with them from the start of their life dies
Depends on how they are joined and how the twin dies. The body wouldn’t really be dead, because it would probably still have blood flow
Can you please do another challenge video I’m a big fan of yours
i dont know any conjoined twins, but i imagine that they are pretty attached to each other
It might hurt a WHOLE LOT MORE for the mom
4:02 why is her arm so long?

why not bro?
@@ummtulip idk
i love your vids
Fraternal twins can become conjoined by fusing together. It's also possible for identical twins to fully seperate and then then fuse. Many twins are joined at the heart because that's the last place skin grows on the body.
I’m getting really high kurzgezagt vibes here, 2:02
I'm from the eastern part of Nigeria , tribally know as the Igbos/Ibo and I can testify that we truly have a high number of twins in our society, I'm 21 now and I can count up to 4 -5 pairs of twins that I know starting from my childhood
Non is conjoined tho
The draw some perforated lines on them so they can rip them apart like paper out of a notebook
I’m a fraternal triplet so I’ve always found the subject of multiple births kinda interesting :-)

Being literally connected to someone would be my biggest fear. I feel so bad for those unlucky enough to have this terrible fate.
Oh yeah...i totally understand everything you just said...yep...100%
I wonder if you’re connected, would only one of you have to eat and the other can just feed off the other. Like if they share a stomach, only one had to eat.
Idk man its freaky
With something sharp probably. Garden shears maybe?

Went to singapore and what I was told about raffles medical centre Is that they are specialists In the procedure...
If I were a conjoined twin, It would depend. If me and the other sibling got along with each other, then I would want NO separation surgery.
