Conjoined twins last night on CH 5

[hoppy2008]

Anyone see this last night?

They were called Ronnie & Donnie - oldest surviving conjoined twins @ 57 years old.

They had 4 legs, 4 arms, but shared one set of nuts, one penis, and 1 rectum, and were joined at the abdomen. It really was bizarre.

My serious question is this: What if one of them died? Would the other one live?
I just asked my mate in the office. He laughed for a bit, then in all seriousness said, "Well, they'd kill him wouldn't they". Who is 'they'??

[V8mate]

Wouldn't the dead one poison the shared blood stream and effectively kill the other?

Someone with some medical training will be along shortly to explain why I'm right or wrong

Not a big fan of freakshow TV.

When one dies the other would die in a matter of hours.

As was stated when one dies the doctors would sedate the other until nature took its course.

I did think though with the amount they both eat and only having one arse toilet time must be of epic proportions.

Be a bit annoying walking round with half a dead brother attached to you.

Gotta scare the kids a bit too.
