I guess it really depends on where threy're conjoined and what the parents' religious beliefs are.  |

OMG I cannot imagine conjoined twins like the 2 that were just separated having to live their whole lives attached at the head. So yes, I believe parents have the right.  |

hey..i just watched a show on TLC about conjoined twins last night....yes, the parents want to do whats best for their children, even if it means taking that risk. You also have to consider the children's future. What do you think they will be like when they are 14, 15, or 16 years old? They would want to go their seperate ways, one would want to go out with friends, the other one would want to date..and possibly marry when one of them gets older. Getting them seperated would be best bet for both of them.  |

wow this is difficult to answer...I believe if God wants us to be born a certain way then thats how it should be...there is a reason for everything...but the parents are the ones who have to live with twins who are born this way and only they know what they feel is right or wrong...and I dont think it would be held against them to want to try and give thier twins a chance at a normal life.  |

Yes, it shouldn't be questioned. They are the PARENTS!  |

yes, they do have the right and I am not so sure that God has anything to do with that type of birth defect  |

That is a very thought provoking question. Have you thought about how hard it would be to make that decision. I know it would be for me. To choose between your babies, or knowing the conceqence could be fatal to both or either of your precious babies. If the parents don't have the right to decide who does?? I just pray for the parents who do have to face this terrible decision.....Boomie  |

God made one man and one woman (if you believe the Adam and Eve story in the bible). So why is it God's will for 2 humans to live and grow as freaks? (Yes, they would be considered freaks because it is not normal to be conjoined like that.) They should be separated if the parents choose. It is the parents choice and no one elses.  |

there is a good chance if you keep them together they will lead such a hard life with people stearing and making fun of them, they won't live long lifes either, most conjoined twins don't live very long...if one dies the other one dies unfortunately.. they ARE two seperate people with two seperate minds and 2 seperate personalities.. shouldn't they ACTUALLY BE 2 seperate people then?  |

I was asking because I just thought that maybe people thought that if GOD made them that way then they should stay that way. I just hope I don't have to ever be faced with that situation. I mean....having a doctor tell you that they could be seperated but one could die...What a hard decision that would be.  |

I absolutely think they have not only "the right" but the responsibility as well.  |

the parents are the ones who love them, and "made" them, so yes, I imagine no parent takes such a choice lightly. Yes, it is the parents choice.  |

That is a tricky subject and I hope I never have to make that decision. But in defense of parents it is not that easy of a decision. To risk your childs life for something that may or may not work is a hard decision to make and I think that these parents follow their hearts and do what si best for their children. *Gothgirl*  |

I think the parents should decide what would be better for their conjoined twins...i mean, what if they were in a state of danger to their health cuz of that, and the fact that GOD wanted them that way--then maybe GOD is testing the parents to see if they will care enough to help their children or if they will just give them away(to adoption, or worse getting rid of them)...you never know, maybe God is testing to see if the parents will do something about this...I think the parents should have the right to see what's best for their children...
