Minister questions plans to seperate conjoined twins (part A- prime - page A1 & A6)

Question 1 :
What are some of the problems involved in seperating a conjoined twin?

In some instances, Surgeons, they have to pick one twin to die in order to save the other. Even those who survive would often be left with serious brain damage. One major problem here is making sure that blood supply to both brains is maintained at all times.

Question 2 :
If you were a part of a conjoined twin, would you rather stay together with your twin for the rest of your life or would you risk both your lives to go for an operation? Why?

Actually, it all depends on the situation.I may continue to stay with my twin together for the rest of my life. If my twins are bad, not good with me or others, i may intend to risk both of our lives for an operation. If i stay together with my twins for the rest of my life, i may have difficulties having normal life like other human beings. These may make me feel uncomfortable, helpless, sad and even envious of the other human being having such a good normal life. As for going to an operation, it is a kind of risky as on the newspaper, some of the surgeons say that if the operation is unsuccessful, both of the twins may eventually died. If the operation is successful, it may be a good news but, one of the twins may be left with serious brain damage while the other ones would survive. If you were the mother of the twins, you may be having a difficult decision to make. This decision may tell you whether the twins died unfortunately, one of them would survive or both would survive.
