  1. The only mercy I can think of with being as severely conjoined as this, ie sharing a heart etc, is that someday they will both die together. The Hilton twins were English sisters born in 1908 who were only connected by their lower back. They wore carefully designed dresses and looked as though they were standing side by side. They could even walk and it looked like two separate people. Unlike these severely conjoined twins, Violet and Daisy Hilton didn't share any major organs and had they lived in more modern times its possible they could have been surgically separated. They had very sad deaths, aged 60 in 1969. They had achieved fame and fortune through their physicality (they were vaudeville stars on the bill with Bob Hope, and made two movies), but in later life were reduced to working in a grocery store. Their employer realised they hadn't showed up for work, and the police were sent to their apartment to break the door down. They found both women dead, and tragically an autopsy revealed there was a gap of three or four days between their deaths, when they must have been alone and unable to summon help. It's terrible to imagine the surviving sister dragging her dead sister around for days, until she too died. With their own complete sets of internal organs, the death of one did not cause the death of the other. The Hilton sisters had the most fascinating and incredibly sad lives, constantly exploited for money and treated as less than human. Thankfully these sisters have the advantage of living in more enlightened times, when they are not persecuted for their condition.
