Yes. It may mean that only one or none will survive
The conjoined Binder Twins were separated in 1987.
By very complex surgical procedures.
Fraternal twins do not need to be separated-- Siamese or Conjoined twins do. Because fraternal twins come from two eggs, they would never have a conjoined twin condition. Conjoined twins occur when an egg divides during the early embryonic stage, but fails to divide completely, resulting in shared body parts and organs.
Conjoined twins cannot be bred. This condition is not genetic.A set of male conjoined twins fathering children with a set of female conjoined twins will almost certainly produce children who are not even twins at all.
The most famous (Chinese) conjoined twins were the Siamese twins
conjoined twins are very very very rare .
why can't conjoined twins be brothers and sisters
Yes, Ben Carson was a hero. There were a pair of Siamese twins from Germany. These twins were joined at the back of the head. Twins like that had never both survive an operation. But, in 1987, Ben Carson did an operation on the twins. He successfully separated them. He was a hero because he saved the twins lives.
The twins were conjoined when they were born.
There is Identical twins, Nonidentical twins and Conjoined twins.

Conjoined twins are basically two beings made from the one egg or cell, and this egg has not broken apart properly, and so the twins have been fused together. They may share the same organs - like brain, shoulder, heart, leg...etc. Sometimes they are separated in order to be able to live separate lives.
