Abigail “Abby” Loraine Hensel and Britanny Lee Hensel are dicephalic conjoined twins. Britanny is the left twin while Abigail is the right twin. They have two spines which join at the pelvis. They have two stomachs, three lungs and at birth three arms of which one of them was amputated in infancy.
It is not easy to be born sharing a single body with your other twin and they are incredible that they had tried their best in leading a normal life.
Below is a television appearance on The Learning Channel around the time of their 16th birthday which was aired in December 17, 2006. The Learning Channel looks into the life of Abby and Britanny on how they coordinate between each other during school and daily activities.
