Conjoined Twins

fayanora tipped me to this fascinating article about a pair of conjoined twins who apparently share some of their perceptions.

I don't think those girls will have the exact same conceptualization of "privacy" or "self" as that of a single-bodied/single-minded individual.  They'll have to work out their own, which is fine. 

I keep an eye on stuff like this, because I have a fictional species that naturally runs to bicephaly.

Fascinating. It will be interesting to see what happens with these two as they develop, as they can tell us more of what goes on in their minds.
