Born Together: The Story of Conjoined Twins

Description

Born Together explores the fascinating and rare phenomenon of conjoined twins in both humans and animals.



Have you ever wondered if conjoined twins could be diagnosed before birth, or just how, in fact, they are born?



Do you know where you can visit conjoined animals in the UK?



There are also the complex ethical issues involved in treating and caring for conjoined twins and this poses the question of whether it would be justified to sacrifice the life of one to save the other?



Born Together reviews many questions like these with examples from history. With accessible language and illustrations, this book is ideally written for those interested in popular science and psychology.
