that'd be impossible as far as I know, since conjoined twins are always identical, the eggs never fully divide.
In order to have twins of different sexes, they must be fraternal twins, coming from two separate fertilized eggs (that are already divided at conception, since they were never connected)

The conjoined part is a deformity and happens usually when it runs in the family. It is not impossible nothing is if anyone has ever figured that out. Its possible to have identical twins in every way other then the sex organs. I knew a set personally that I went to school with growin up. Its a matter of a loss of the y cromosome. one child is born xy the other losses the y and is born xo. Usually the xo child has severe problems and can not have children. Both children were supose to be xy but one had problems in development. You can look up on line many case were indentical twins that shared the same sack and could have been born conjoined as a result. Not all identical twins are the same sex. It is possible however I personally have not seen a case of it.

I would assume that it is not possible. It would most likely occur when identical twins - made from the same egg and sharing the same placenta - did not separate properly. Identical twins are always the same sex because they came from the same egg making them the same in every sense, they are in-fact a clone of each other. For twins to be different sex they are fraternal twins that are two different eggs fertilized by two different sperm at the same time in the womb, and have separate placentas so I don't think it would be possible for them to be conjoined.

That's impossible, because conjoined twins are identical twins whose egg tried to split too late and therefore split incompletely...this cannot happen with fraternal twins (the only kind of twins that can be boy-girl, because identical twins have the EXACT same genes), because fraternal twins come from sepearate eggs. So there's no such case.

I don't think that it's possible, conjoined twins are generally identical and share an amniotic sac and the twins become conjoined when the cells don't split completely or properly. Fraternal twins have seperate amniotic sacs there for they wouldn't become conjoined.

I think it could happen . Have you ever heard of hermaphrodites. They are one person having two sex organs, cause by i think two eggs fusing. I have even heard of people having two sets of dna on the discovery channel . Have you ever saw the show " I am my own twin". If they are able to split apart to become two people than why can't they fuse .

i think only identical twins can be conjoined. its because they share the same sack. fraternal twins are just in the same pregnancy they don't share the same sack.
