Surgeons to separate conjoined twins in marathon operation

In hospital of Los Angeles, there are ten month old two girls joined from the chest to the pelvis. They have two heads, necks, shoulders, arms, hearts and lungs each, but they have only one some vital organs. Doctors will devide their some organs.
Surgeons to separate conjoined twins

Nowadays, we can see the siamese twins. Some of them were already separate their bodies, and others still are joined from their bodies. Usually, if they separate their bodies, percentage of their survival is too low, 5~25%. However, if they do not separate their bodies, they are going to be pain during their life. I think that they should have a choice to devide their bodies because it is own life and bodies. However, as this news, they cannot decide to do yet, so that their parents and doctors should consider really carefully.

Fortunately, they separated successfully.
