Interesting situation, I’m sure it’s all worked out between them but as she wants a children the question of consent is an interesting one.

It’s a different situation for sure. He has only married one of them also. What happens if the other twin wants to get married?
They have separate legal documents, so pretty sure the other twin could get married. I assume it was already settled law that for conjoined twins that the brain is a separate legal identity, and the body is irrelevant.Edited by Gareth79 on Saturday 30th March 20:53

They also stunned doctors with their astonishing co-ordination while playing the piano and sports. Each has control over one side of the body, with Abby controlling the right hand side and Brittany the left

Although Brittany - the left twin - can't feel anything on the right side of the body and Abigail - the right twin - can't feel anything on her left, instinctively their limbs move as if co-ordinated by one person, even when typing e-mails on the computer.
Amazing how they have adapted. Also amazing that all the plumbing with the veins and arteries works considering they have two hearts. Sheets Tabuer said:
It is weird, do both feel it when they are having sex, do both fancy him, does one watch tv while they are doing it?
As others have said, they have one set of reproductive organs, so consent will be very tricky.Plus, the law recognises them as two seperate people. Which means there would be 2 birth mothers for the child. A lifetime of legal questions as there wont be any provision in law for this
Chang and Eng Bunker, conjoined twins from Siam (now Thailand), were born in 1811. In 1843, the twins married sisters Adelaide and Sarah Yates and fathered 21 children between them – Chang and Adelaide had 10 and Eng and Sarah had 11.
The families lived in Mount Airy in North Carolina, USA, spending three days at a time in each of their homes.
The twins were connected from the sternum to the umbilicus by a flexible band about five inches long. Later examination after their death revealed that the band consisted of skin, blood vessels, cartilage and liver. A plaster cast of their bodies can be viewed at the Mütter Museum, College of Physicians and Surgeons, in Philadelphia, USA.
Conjoined twins occur in approximately 1 in 200 identical twin births.
The twins left hundreds of descendants that convene every year in Mount Airy for a family reunion. Saturday, 26 July 2014 at the First Baptist Church. The event included about 200 descendants of the original twins and their guests.
