Teenager picture:
Although they are two completely separate people, these accomplished teens share a body and have just two arms and legs between them.
Born in 1990, the girls have been brought up in a small, tightly knit community in Minnesota, almost completely protected from prying eyes and inquisitive stares. To their friends and family, they are distinct people with very different personalities, needs, tastes and desires. But to the outside world they are a medical mystery particularly given the fact that they can do virtually all the same things as their friends, including playing the piano, riding a bike, swimming and playing softball Their personalities make them inspirational, says their mother Patty. They never give up; anything they want to do, they go out and do it.

Hardly two completely separate people.

OK, now you've got me curious - if they can do things like play volleyball, does that mean they are controlling the body together in a coordinated way, or do they take turns controlling it? If you pinch a leg, can they both feel it?

I seen the TV episode about these two girls or girl with two heads and the subject of future marriage came up, I believe it was the mother, who said she hoped she or they would, eventually, marry.
In my rather unconventional thinking, two questions popped into my mind. One was what if one hated the guy and the other one loved him and what if one didn't want to have sex and the other did, could the man be charged with rape by the one who didn't?
