Abigail and Brittany Hensel are conjoined twins from Minnesota. Being
conjoined, they have had many struggles throughout their lives. Soon
after they were born, doctors gave their parents the bad news; the twins
would not survive very long. The girls are now 25 years old and are
featured in a show, titled: Abby and Brittany, which will show viewers
how their every days lives are.
These girls are one of the rarest set of dicephalus twins in the
world! It is very rare to be born conjoined (1 in 40,000) and it is even
more rare to survive after birth (1% of the 1 in 40,000)! The fact that
Abby and Brittany are alive and well is a miracle. Abby and Brittany
came to be when a fertilized egg failed to separate inside the womb.
They have two hearts, two spines joined at the pelvis, four lungs,
two esophagi, three kidneys, one ribcage, one liver, a partially shared
nervous system and a shared circulatory system. From their waist down,
all organs are shared including the reproductive system, intestines and
bladder. Abby, the right twin can’t feel anything on the left side of
body while Brittany, the left twin can’t feel anything on her right
side.
is just God.
