Yes. They used to be called Siamese twins but that was changed to conjoined twins for political correctness. They are twins that are born joined together by some part of their body due to the egg bot completely separating during pregnancy.
If there is a failure in the separation process of identical twins before the thirteenth day after fertilization, it can result in conjoined twins. Conjoined twins occur when the developing embryos do not fully separate and remain connected, sharing certain organs or body parts.
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.
