There are very few examples of conjoined people in the world, and even more rare are living conjoined people, two people share part of the same organs, but have independent brains, which is quite painful in the eyes of ordinary people, and we can't imagine how many different eyes and ridicule they have suffered.
There is such a pair of Siamese sisters in Minnesota, the United States, they were declared by doctors to live for a short time when they were born, but in the decades after birth, they not only lived safely, but even took a driver's license as a teacher and lived a wonderful life.
The town's female teacher gave birth to conjoined sisters, and the doctor asserted that she would not live more than 24 hours
On March 16, 1990, a wonderful day, the female teacher Patti gave birth to a baby girl in a hospital in western Minnesota, but it was accompanied by a cry of amazement, because no one expected the baby girl to have two heads, two hearts, four lobes, three kidneys and two stomachs.
They have two spines, but they are fused together in the pelvis, which means they share it below the waist.
Because there had been two such cases before, the doctor concluded that the child would not live for 24 hours and asked Patti to be mentally prepared.
But Patti begged the doctor, "This is my child, I don't care what she looks like, I have to do my duty as a mother to them!" ”
The doctor was touched by Patti, and with everyone's efforts, the baby girl survived 24 hours, three days, a week, and later the hospital also made an exception to hold the child to Patti for her to take care of and feed herself.
In this way, the doctor's assertion was broken by a miracle, and the baby girl survived, but because she had two minds, her mother gave her two names, one named Abigail and the other Brittany (simplified: Gayle, Tani).
The pain and tears on the road to growth
As the two children grew older, Patti also came to know that Gayle and Tani had independent minds and that they both had their own minds. And the hand is also controlled by one person, and the legs are controlled by two people.
Therefore, Patti made up her mind to make the two children's lives smoothly through psychological guidance and some training in movement, and at that time she always said that the two children should be highly united and think more about each other, because only in this way can they use this body together.
However, the two children's affairs are only known to themselves, because they both have their own independent thoughts but share a body, so it is inevitable that there are some things that the other party is not willing to do. For example, when they were 5 years old, Gayle wanted to go to the toilet on a winter night, and the sleepy-eyed Tani had to brave the cold to "accompany" her.
After the convenience, the two quarreled over Gail's failure to wipe his ass, and even moved his hands, and finally only Pa came forward, and the two reconciled.
In fact, such things often happen, although the two share a set of excretory systems, but the two have two stomachs, so when one wants to urinate, the other often has no idea, so contradictions are naturally easy to arise.
The two grew up in joy and quarrel, and slowly they began to understand each other, no longer quarreling over such trivial things, and because their mother and the people around them grew up caring, they were not afraid to communicate with strangers. After going to private school, they were happy to participate in some group activities, and finally learned to swim, play ball, and even appeared on the reality TV show of the "Oprah Winfrey Show" at the age of 6.
Because their lifestyle is no different from ordinary people, and they are very optimistic, many people are willing to play with them, and they also take the initiative to invite them to visit their homes, and the teacher also gives them two test papers during the exam, Gayle answers the paper with her right hand, and Tanni uses her left hand.
Growth naturally accompanies the cultivation of personality, Gale has a stubborn personality and likes to give orders, while Tani loves to joke, like to read, and loves animals.
But the different personalities did not affect the relationship between the two people, after all, from the moment they were born, the two began to be connected, and they knew each other better than anyone. The two also often watch movies together, and although they only sit in one seat, they always buy two tickets.
Through hardships, mutual understanding of the "community life"
In this way, the two lived together for 16 years, and it was the year when they were 16 years old that the two encountered new problems.
In 2006, while practicing, Gayle fell in love with the young coach Kenny, so the night she got her driver's license, she and Tanni discussed asking Kuni to go to a movie, and Tanee agreed and the three of them had a sweet date at the movie theater.
During this time, Gayle and Cooney had a good feeling for each other, and Kuni gently pulled the hand that belonged to Gayle, until Kuni reached over to hug Gail's waist, and Tanni shouted angrily: "I don't care what you two do, but why do you want to put your arms around my waist?" Cooney was frightened and embarrassed for half a day.
After watching the movie, Gayle says that she is in love with Cooney, but Tanee angrily says that she doesn't feel that way about Kuni. This is the first time that the two have had an awkward relationship because of their feelings.
Later, a few months later, Tani actually fell in love with Juan, the captain of the baseball team, but Gayle was not cold to Juan, at this time Tani gradually understood Gail, and because of this, the two began to calm down and discuss emotional issues.
"We can't marry two people at the same time, I like coaches, you like Juan, there has to be someone to give up, I can't say who is more suitable now, it seems that it will take time to prove it." 」 Gayle said slightly maturely.
Tanee also feels that Gayle is right, but love is selfish, if the other party falls in love with someone she does not love, then when Gale is with the other party, how will she face it? If two people fall in love with someone together, will they be angry about it? No one can guess.
The two later completed their studies at Bosser University and became math teachers in the fourth and fifth grades, and their story was made into a documentary, "The One-Piece Sisters: Abby and Brittany."
They said they might move elsewhere or do some other work in the future, and they wanted to get married, but no matter what, as long as it was arranged by fate, they were excited to do it.
How did other Siamese and Siamese come about?
In fact, the surviving Siamese in this world are not only Gayle and Tani, such as "Chang" and "En" from Thailand, whose chest is connected, daisy and Violet, who are connected to the British hips, but these two conjoined twins have been married before they were born, and the two brothers in Thailand have many children.
Seeing this, many people can't help but wonder, why are there Siamese people? How did they come about?
In fact, the chance of conjoined people appearing is very small, it is an extremely rare pregnancy phenomenon, is divided from a single fertilized egg, unlike normal monozygotic twins, it was not completely separated in the first two weeks, so the locally isolated fertilized eggs continued to mature, and the conjoined baby was born.
The probability of this phenomenon occurring is less than 1 in 100,000, and most conjoined infants have died in their embryonic stage, making it even more rare to be able to give birth successfully.
Write in the last words
Gail and Thani sisters in the article, their optimistic and upbeat attitude is admirable, of course, this process is also indispensable to the help of their mothers.
In fact, whether it is a conjoined person or some people with flawed appearance, they all deserve to be respected, we do not need to look at them with sympathy or strange eyes, we treat them as ordinary people is the best respect for them. What do you think?
