Two heads are better than one.

Firstly, sorry for the ever so slightly distasteful title of this article.

Now then.

I was watching channel 5 on Monday night and saw the programme about Abigail (Abby) and Britanny Lee Hensel from Minnesota.

These two girls are Dicephalic conjoined twins who have two spines, which join at the pelvis, two stomachs and 3 lungs.

They are about two years away from going to University and by all accounts are clever enough to go.

There were so many issues raised in this show that my head span.

What happens when they go for a job?

Does the employer have to hire both, on the same money, doing the same shifts.

And what about love?

Apart from the obvious, they appear to be normal intelligent, reasonably pretty girls.

Like normal girls, they probably have teenage crushes, quite possibly on different guys.

All this is a bit of a minefield.

But this is nothing compared to the big problem.

According to their family doctor, they are fertile.

So, how will this work?

Surely they will have to both fall in love with the same guy because I really cannot see any other way around it.

What sort of guy is gonna be "that guy"?

I'm sure that many people would think that he would have to be some sort of weirdo.
I hope not and don't necessarily think that is true.

What if he loves both those sisters equally?
Does he not deserve a little happiness?

So what if it is twins.

Of course, the big problem will arise if "that guy" and Abby were to have a major falling out and wanted to get divorced.

Where does that leave Brittany?

Anyway, whatever the problems that life will throw at these two, I'm sure they'll deal with it.

Good luck girls.
