CONJOINED
twins Shivanath and Shivram Sahu have found a unusual way to get to school -
dropping to the floor and running like a SPIDER. The 12-year-olds, who were
born joined at the waist, bare two legs and four arms and work in tandem to get
around. They have stunned doctors with their ability to wash, dress and feed
themselves - and say they are determined never to be parted. The pair were born
in a village near Raipur, central India. Their arrival caused quite a stir with
some villagers even worshiping them, believing they were divine incarnations.
They are believed to share the same stomach but have independent lungs, hearts
and brains. At birth a local doctor said they could not be separated but now a
leading pediatrician, who has reviewed photographs of the boys, has said an
operation is potentially viable. However, the twins and their father are
vehemently against the idea and say they will remain together all their lives.
