If one conjoined twin dies, does the other as well?!


Question: If one conjoined twin dies, does the other as well.?
Since they have separate brains and organs, would both Siamese twins die or is it possible that one dies and the other continues to live.? Serious answers please.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Yes, they both die, unless doctors can separate the two bodies quickly enough. Otherwise, the living twin's heart would have to pump blood through both bodies, and no heart is strong enough for that. Depending on what the twin died of, its dead body could begin decaying, which would quickly kill the other twin, anyway, just as a person who is not a siamese twin will die after one of their body parts dies and turns gangrenous. So basically, in cases of Siamese twins, after one twin dies, the other dies within a couple hours at most.Health Question & Answer

that because the death produce toxic in the body cell. since the survive one still intact with the death, the immunity of his/her can not handle the toxic from the death. so he/she will die eventuallyHealth Question & Answer
