Minister questions plans to separate conjoined twins
(Part A – Prime – Page A1 & A6)

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

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?

Answers:
Q1)The brain is a very delicate structure and if it is starved of a blood supply for more than a few seconds, then brain damage is a distinct possibility. Much longer and death will soon follow.So if blood is not suppied properly, the person will die very soon.

Q2)I would rather stay together as it may be dangerous and something may go worng during the operation.
