A hospital in southwestern China says conjoined twin girls with a single body and two heads have been born at its facility. A staffer surnamed Wang at Suining City Central Hospital in Sichuan province says the girls were born Thursday.Wang said Tuesday the parents, who are farmers, did not want to have the babies at first, fearing they could not afford to keep them alive. She said they transferred the twins to a hospital in the nearby metropolis of Chongqing to be examined by experts.
The local Huaxi Metropolis Daily reported the twins weighed 9 pounds (4 kilograms) and measured 20 inches (51 centimeters). They have two spines and two esophaguses and share other organs. Doctors were quoted as saying it would be nearly impossible to separate them.

I guess we are now living in a time of “????? ??? ????”!! See ???’ ????? ?”? that says that this does not occur in this world, but brings a story with ?????!
The Gemarah talks about such a case regarding (it it was a boy) how many sets of Tefillin need be worn!
Heartbreaking.
Is this considered a monster?
For your curiosity, there is a set of dicephal conjoined twin girls, close to 20 years old from Minnesota, who are living a very productive and enjoyable life together. They synchronize themselves so well that they can ride a bike, play basketball, swim, drive a car, do their homework together, etc. They also have two spines and separate upper organs but each has one arm and one leg. They function so well and each has such a different personality that one views the situation as almost normal and positive.
There is a similar case here in US, the Hensel twins who also share one body, they are now 20 years old.
“Two heads Are better than one!”

Yachloku for Shimusha Rabbah.
it is interesting that everyone talks about the shimusha raba, and this is not a sefer that was ever printed it is only bought down in the Rosh of meseches tefilin.
if anyone has more information please post.

I do not want to shock you. These cojoined twins ara girls.
I would have made the same mistake. Never thought i’d see the day when matzav posted pictures of femailes.
Halachically, we may be talking about one person. As the US twins show, there might well be two distinct personalities.
gosh!!
