I remember seeing a case here in America where a little girl had two heads. I seem to recall seeing her riding a bike and going to school. Can't doctors bring the baby here to see what American doctors can do?

Wow, two heads, two hearts, two spinal cords, one torso.......those poor babies.

I know American docs have separated sisters that were connected in the lower torso region. The girls shared two legs. At separation each girl got one leg each and are doing well today.

and they are such cute kids too. I know doctors are not miracle workers, but looks like they could do something for them. Why would it be such a big strain on the heart, since there are two hearts?

That is very sad for the babies as well as the parents. I am surprised that they survived the birth at all.
