They have always shut down speculation about their private life and a decade ago dismissed the rumor that Brittany was engaged as a “silly joke,” but even as teenagers they talked about wanting to have children.

“People have been curious about us since we were born, for obvious reasons,” the twins said in the first episode of their eight-part series, according to ABC News. ‘But our parents never let us use that as an excuse. “We were raised to believe we could do anything we wanted.”

In a 2001 interview with Time, the twins’ father, Mike, said his daughters had already asked about finding a husband one day.

Knowing that other conjoined twins have gotten married, he explained, why not? They are pretty girls. They are ingenious. “They have everything going for them, except they are together,” she added.

How conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel defied the 1% chance of survival: a couple who share a body and major organs are the only twins in the world with this condition

Conjoined twins occur when siblings have fused skin or internal organs.

Only one set of twins in every 40,000 are born connected in any way to each other and only 1 percent of them survive beyond the first year.

Conjoined twins are caused by a fertilized egg beginning to divide into two embryos a few weeks after conception, but the process stops before completion.

The most common type is twins joined at the chest or abdomen.

The success of separation surgery depends on where the twins are joined. Doctors can only know which organs siblings share, and therefore plan surgery, after they are born. At least one twin survives 75 percent of the time.

The most famous pair of conjoined twins was Chang and Eng Bunker, who were born in 1811 and traveled with PT Barnum’s circus. They were born in Siam and were known as the Siamese twins.

Hensel girls are the rarest form of conjoined twins, the result of a single fertilized egg that did not separate properly in the uterus, resulting in a dicephalic parapagus, where the twins have two heads and a single body with two arms and two legs.

They have two spines (which join at the pelvis), two hearts, two esophagus, two stomachs, three kidneys, two gallbladders, four lungs (two of which are joined), one liver, one rib cage, one shared circulatory system and partially shared nervous systems.

From the waist down, all organs are shared, including the intestine, bladder, and reproductive organs.

Although they were born with three arms, one was surgically removed.

Although Brittany, the left twin, cannot feel anything on the right side of her body and Abigail, the right twin, cannot feel anything on the left side, their limbs instinctively move as if coordinated by a single person, even when typing. emails on the computer.

It is rare for conjoined twins like Abby and Brittany to survive to adulthood, but they are nonetheless in good health, with no heart defects or organ failure.

There is only one set of twins living in the world with the same condition: brothers Ayşe and Sema Tanrıkulu, who were born in Turkey in 2000.
