Where are the binder twins now?

Answer 1

According to The Washington Post article "The story of the surgery that made Ben Carson famous - and its complicated aftermath": "Patrick Binder died sometime in the past decade, Theresia's brother Peter Parlagi said. Benjamin is 28 now and still cannot speak, but according to Parlagi is doing "relatively well." He's grown up; his hair is now dark. His younger half-brother, Florian Vosseler, still checks in on him two or three times a year, often with their mother, who declined to be interviewed for this story. They'll take walks, feed him cake and help him drink coffee, which he prefers with extra milk."

Answer 2

For some reason, reports are scarce on the whereabouts of the Binder twins, who were conjoined and survived separation surgery in 1987. It has been suggested the twins are doing well in West Germany. Although the surgery itself was a celebrated success, it was reported two years later that the twins were far from normal. In 1989, Patrick Binder was in a vegetative state, with severe neurological damage and his recovery was uncertain. At the time, it was suspected Patrick would be blind and have a hearing deficit. Benjamin was improving, but was not normal and was developmentally delayed. His ultimate chances of recovery were also uncertain at the time.
