Who discovered conjoined twins?

The "first" conjoined, or siamiese twins were Chang and Eng Bunker, from Siam (current Thailand). They were born in 1811, and are said to be first, altough there are two other earlier cases. The earliest are so-called "Biddenen Maids", Mary and Eliza Chulkhurst, born in England in 1100. They were said to be conjoined from the hip, but sometimes also from the shoulders. Of course, there are earlier cases, but these are the first to have known names.

If a Siamese twin was born exept with three people instead of two would they be considered triplets?

They would be called conjoined triplets. Siamese is not a politically correct term anymore. This has happened though. All conjoined - I could only find two cases. Unidentified (Sicily, Italy, 1834) 3 boys born with a single torso, two hearts, two stomachs, two lungs & three heads. The case was profiled in Gould & Pyle's Curiosities of Medicine. Unidentified (Samsun, Turkey, 1955?) Three heads, two pairs of arms, two pairs of legs; lived for 2 hours. On autopsy four lungs, three livers, three brains, two hearts and two kidneys were found. Information appeared in Sexology Magazine in 1955, they cited the Journal of the American Medical Association for the information. There have been 43 sets of triplets born with 2 conjoined. Only 6 of those sets have all three surviving, 17 sets I have no stats on, and the rest had one or both conjoined babies die.

Are there any male and female conjoined twins?

No. The popular gen is it is best that people of this sort remain ( single) or dual-controlled and avoid any Center-Aisle Romantic entanglement. The original Chang and Eng ( l9Th century siamese twins) were married to one woman, normal, and produced normal offspring. Neither the Hilton sisters nor the Boston-area sisters as far as I know ever got married. There may be legal issues here, also. A different type of freak, the Amazon Sandra Allen, was never married. Most people of this type tend to die young, in the case of the overly tall woman, the circulatory system is over-taxed.
