Connected for life....by ashley T:]

Their names are Abby and Brittany. They are conjoined twins, sharing the same body Abby and Brittany have their own heads and necks . They each have their own heart, brain, stomach, ribcage, small intestine, and two kidneys. They share the same body, uterus, bladder, large intestine and female parts. Abby who's head is on the left, controls the left arm and leg and Brittany who's head is located on the right, controls the right arm and leg. Each arm cant sense the others arm touch. Although doctors don't know how both arms work together whit out a thought, even though the each have control of only one arm they will automatically clap and the twins also play softball they life is different and the same as ours. How would you feel if you were in their situation? what would you do if you were in that situation? when asked "if you had the chance to be apart?" the answered " no we love being together your never alone and always have someone to talk to". do you think they would be accepted in our school? how do you think people would people would act towards them?
