A set of conjoined twins was delivered yesterday in Vancouver Canada. Parents named them Krista and Tatiana. They are connected at the head and share portions of their brains which will make separation hard if not impossible.
It's a tough decision, but would you carry to term knowing you were carrying siamese twins, especially when there was small chance of their being separated?

Yes i would....it would be a hard choice but i would never abort (murder) a child if it had a chance to make it even if only a small chance!

It would depend on the quality of life that I could give them. If they would still be able to live a "normal" life, going to school and having friends, then yes, because there are many sets of siamese twins who have a great life and achieve great things, some being the ability to overcome any challenge. However, if they would likely be in a hospital all the time, in pain of any kind, or weren't given much hope of living any kind of life, then no. It wouldn't be fair to bring someone into this world that would suffer from the point of being born, or even before then since babies can feel pain in the womb.

Yes I would. Those would be my children. Just because they don't come out physically perfect they deserve a chance at life. Isn't there a set of conjoined twins, who are connected at the head and live pretty "normal" lives? They've never been seperated.

No i does no longer the prospect of those toddlers residing is extraordinarily lots 2% quite being joined on the pinnacle and sharing a recommendations. in spite of this, they'd possibly on no account be waiting to lead a classic existence. Termination may be the main suitable element you are able to desire to do for them

If they were facing multiple health problems, and would have a slim chance of living a long term life...I don't think that I could have them...I don't believe in abortion...BUT so they wouldn't suffer...DEEP SIGH....Glad I don't have to make that decision...

Personally I wouldn't do it but you have to be in their shoes to really know how you'd feel
