18 yo girl with two heads

This is amazing. I had never heard of them/her until today.

Quote:
Each of the twins manages one side of their conjoined body and they are quite ambidextrous and coordinated in both their arms and legs when both hands or both legs are required. By coordinating their efforts, they are able to walk, run and ride a bicycle normally — all tasks that they learned at a normal speed. They each write with their corresponding hand. Together, they can type on a computer keyboard at a normal speed. Their sense of touch is partitioned to their own body half, which shades off at the midsagittal plane such that there is a small amount of overlap at their midline. They enjoy hobbies and sports including volleyball, kickball, swimming, basketball, and cycling. They also play the piano and are avid computer users. They enjoy softball, digital photography, the internet, social networking, and talking on the telephone. When they go to the cinema, they pay for two tickets.[2]
This is a video from when they/she was/were 16.


Not to be vulgar, but there are so many questions that we brought about by the mention of puberty and marriage. The have 2 heads, 2 boobs, 2 legs and one set of reproductive organs. They also feel only their own side of their body, ie, they only feel one are and one leg each. But they have 2 individual personalities. I'm having a hard time figuring out the logistics of marraige and sex that wouldn't lead to problems.

Besides, one body, two heads, doesn't that just mean twice as much *****ing?

Gives new meaning to the phrase "two chicks at the same time"

I'd hit it just for the notoriety...

To quote Austin Powers: "The sheer mechanics of the whole thing are mind boggling."

Does only one of them have sensation "down there"? Since they are legally two people, they can both get married to different people. But there's only one "down there"...

How about college? Do they both need to get the same degree? They have to take the same classes. Are they allowed to turn in two copies of the same paper since they both need to be involved in typing it? How are they billed for tuition?

What about the job world? Because of coordination issues, they can't do the work of two people, do they get one paycheck or two? If two, who's going to hire two people to do one person's job?

Actually, 2 girls sharing one body. Saw a documentary film about them several years ago. They're quite bright with two distinctly different personalities. Amazingly, at the time they were on their high school's volleyball team. They seemed to be very well adjusted and accepted by their classmates and friends.

Was on a cruise last spring and they were there. It was so bizarre to see them talking to each other. Gotta be really tough to deal with all the stares. And it is hard not to look.

That's tough. What a deck to be dealt. I hope they're happy.

I wonder what happens later in life, when one passes on?

It was interesting to watch their movements.

What happens if one of them turns out to be a lesbian, and the other straight?

They'll both be dead... too much intertwined to separate...

So if she/they are involved in an affair with a married man, would he be considered a 2-timer or a 3-timer?

Actually, I should have posted that alone - wasn't meant to pick on you. But....would you even consider asking their father that legitimate scientific question?
