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.
