BBC News - Twins born in Brazil with two heads, one heart
"Patrick O'Brien, a spokesman for the UK's Royal College of Obstetrician and Gynaecologists who has been involved in several conjoined twin cases, said no decisions were likely to be made about Jesus and Emanuel's future for some time.
"A lot of work is needed, in terms of scans and tests, before doctors will know if they can separate them or not, and just how organs and blood vessels are shared and linked.
"It takes quite a while before they can decide how feasible it is."
Mr O'Brien said dicephalic parapagus affected around one in 100,000 pregnancies[MY NOTE: that's a lot!], but that around half do not reach full-term."
