They each have their own esophagus and stomach. The only organs they really share are below the stomach.
Most people have TWO lungs, and many people who have lost a lung talk just fine. So they each have one lung and share the third. what's so hard to imagine?
If you watch the documentary it is much easier to see that they obviously are two people in one body. It is a lot better than most peoples imagination of it.
I think the danger in one of them dying is that it would be difficult for the body to deal with so much tissue death all at once. You'd have to have emergency surgery or the living body will be poisoned to death by the necrotic tissue.
I'm really happy to see these girls doing even so much better than many other children their age. I'm sure they will be successful in life through their own efforts.
