Edward Mordrake's case is so sad...today with neurosurgery and plastic surgery, I'm sure his problem could have been repaired...he must have been a really cool man..

#1 I don't think that would have solved anything. If it was able to talk it would need to have some sort of brain and then it would by todays doctors have been seen as an individual and the removal would have been the same as killing it. Besides there is the posibility that there was indeed an "extra" brain that was somehow joined with his and that gave some sort of feedback. That could have seemed like a voice in his head that he had no control over. It's a sad and scary case.

But i'm curious about the twins. If they were seperate internally then why did they die together?

Yeah #2..you're making a good point, we're getting into ethical and philosophical issues here...the question of what makes you you..
The twins probably died of surgical complications, they must have still shared part of their circulatory system.

Striking a match and lighting a cig without limbs is one thing. Maintaining a mustache with this habit... remarkable!

"Disagreements often ended in fist fights" i can imagine that hehehe

The twins remind me of nowadays Abby and Brittany Hensel.
It was on snotr some years ago.

#6 I had to google the names, remarkable young ladies...there's a video here about them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA3ZHvw13l0

To find good scientific information on the two-faced born cases is difficult because they are so rare, apparently more common in cats, but in humans I don't think there are any cases that were attempted to be repaired surgically, still wondering if and how it could be possible though..

#7 This is incredible, as one cannot even imagine a life like that, for them it is the most normal thing and they can probably not imagine it being anything but that...thanks for finding this video

#7 great story.
