Abigail "Abby" Loraine Hensel and Brittany "Britty" Lee Hensel (born 7 March 1990, Carver County, Minnesota, United States), are dicephalic conjoined twins. They have two spines which join at the pelvis. They have two stomachs, four lungs (two partially conjoined pairs), and two arms. (A third, underdeveloped and unusable arm between their heads was amputated in infancy.)

Here are some pictures:

Abigail and Brittney were lucky to survive after they were born. More info can be found here

Video of Abigail and Brittney has been posted earlier in this forum. They are far more conjoined than Amber and Dhara. The life must be really really difficult for them.

Yea true, the way they are presented, most people wouldn't even realise they have a problem with them. Maybe that is a disadvantage for the producers that they can't make two separate people look "manhoos"

Ya, I watched the show too. I simply don't get why people have to take pictures of the girls without thier permission I felt very sorry for them. The more people that get to know about conjoined twins the better, it helps these girls face less stares in public.
