CONJOINED TWINS: to separate, or not to separate? It depends. "Lori and George Schappell (born as Lori and Dori Schappell, September 18, 1961 in Reading, Pennsylvania) are conjoined twins. George has performed as a country singer. In 2007, George, who was at that time known as Reba Schappell, stated that although born female, he identified with the male gender and changed his name to George" - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This painting by Winslow Homer shows two boys.
They may be twins, but they are not conjoined twins.
So they have the LUXURY of separate, independent lives..

  1. And of course the first thing that occurs to me is the question of how you turn over in bed - and who decides! Conjoined twins must be naturally qualified as facilitators of cooperative behavior. Perhaps they could become international counselors to assist Israel and Palestine etc. with their conflicts.
