Where are the Binder twins that were separated by Dr Ben Carson?

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.


Why did ben Carson separate the binder twins?

Ben Carson separated the Binder twins, who were conjoined at the back of the head, during a historic surgical procedure in 1987. The decision was made after thorough evaluations and discussions about the potential risks and benefits, as the twins shared vital blood vessels and brain tissue. Carson believed that separating them would give each twin a better chance at a normal life, despite the high stakes involved in such a complicated surgery. The operation was successful, allowing both twins to live independently.
