Conjoined twins are two individuals who are physically connected to each other at birth. This occurs when a single fertilized egg partially splits into two embryos but does not fully separate. The degree of connection can vary, with some twins sharing organs or limbs, while others may be connected at the torso or head. The condition is rare, occurring in about 1 in every 200,000 live births. Conjoined twins often require specialized medical care and may undergo surgical procedures to separate them, depending on their specific anatomy and health. Their unique situation can lead to complex emotional and social dynamics as they navigate life together.
