Abigail and Brittany Hensel: Two Souls, One Body

Here's an absolutely amazing story about Abigail and Brittany Hensel, conjoined twins:

Despite sharing a body, the twins have different tastes in food and clothes. Some of their clothes are altered so that they have two separate necklines in order to emphasize their individuality. According to a TLC documentary (discussed later) in 2006, they negotiate what they will wear each day. They will usually have separate meals, but sometimes will share a single meal for the sake of convenience (e.g. each takes a bite of a hamburger). [...]

They appeared in a follow-up documentary on The Learning Channel on December 17, 2006 filmed around the time of their 16th birthday, in which they discuss dealing with puberty and getting their driver's licenses.

They successfully passed their driver license exam, both the written and driving tests. They had to take the tests twice, once for each twin. Both control the steering wheel, Abby controls the pedals and gear stick, and Brittany controls the turn signal.

I Would be proud to get married with these super girls, I mean, I would do a happy life with them, because they have been putting all their souls on what they do, and that's why I think they are very special.

I really don't know what to say, I'm really amazed...
I don't know whether to see this situation as a miracle from God, or simply proves that God actually like a kid with an ant farm, that God doesn't control everything, He just created world, and everything interacts by coincidence...

If God control everything in detail, how could He let this kind of thing happens? Really I just don't know what's the truth...

As for the girls, you both amazing... Have a long happy life...

wow, how many things they have to think about, that we take for granted. As far as dating and marriage - this is a hard one full of questions. Do they marry one or two husbands? As different as they are and their desire to be individual, I would think they would want to choose their own husband. They may share the same genetics and sahre the same body, but the mind is still unique. However, one thing that I haven't heard anyone else mention.. is ok.. suppose they marry seperate husbands... how many guys are going to want to share the one set of reproductive organs, if you know what I mean. The two men would have to trust the other.. you know.. one would be mad if the other slept around and got something nasty and brought it back home. Plus, pleasing two men sexually is going to be harder on the body and more time consuming.
This situation challenges several legal and moral ideas. I personally would not judge these girls for whatever choice they make, because it is up to them to figure out how to get what they want out of life.

Hey Crystal, Autonomy this.

Who made you Lord and Master as to who should Live and Die?
Who was it that said, 2 Heads are better than One?
Humans did.
These two girls are absolutely Amazing.
They've beaten ALL of the odds that were and are against them.
Every parent should have kids as wonderful as these two are.
I suppose if you were in their condition you would Commit Suicide?
Each girl runs half of the body, that's quite Amazing, if you think about it.
Do this, Go get a friend, have her use her Left hand and you use your Right and try Tieing your shoe.

The way i see it, you would rather of had them Killed off at Birth or if you are Religious, had them stuck in some Asylum behind closed doors away from view.
Cus that's what Religion did to those who were born different.
How do you know that they weren't born Normal and you are the one who is Different.

To those saying that they should've taken and whacked Brittanys head off so that Abby could've had a more normal life, there are two reasons that that couldn't and thankfully shouldn't have been done.
Remember this, each girl controls her side of their body.
So 1, it would have Killed Brittany and 2, it would have left Abby Paralized on her left side.
There's a reason why, GOD in his Infinate Wisdom-If he exists- created them the way he did. The 2 girls obviously Believe in him and they've excepted his mold. Or Nature just said it's time for some Normal people to populate this Pathetic planet.

These are 2 Beautiful young women, who have More going on in their lives than any 10 people.
What they do or whoever they do it with is Their business and no-one elses.
I bet you, Crystal, think that you're GODs gift.
Guess again.

To Abigale and Brittany

Live your lives as you want to and don't let other people bring you down. Most people who Criticize others, usually don't have a life of their own.

Way to go on the DMV Test.
