Here is an update in 2024 on Abigail and Brittany Hensel:
Abby Hensel’s Marriage
Abby Hensel, one of the conjoined Hensel twins, got married to Josh Bowling, a nurse and U.S. Army veteran, in 2021. [1][2][3][4][5] The news of Abby’s marriage was recently revealed and sparked a lot of online attention and comments. [3][4][5] In response, Abby and Brittany posted TikTok videos addressing the “loud” internet comments and “haters”, saying they have “always been around” and that the “haters” are still fans. [3][4][5]
The Hensel Twins’ Background
Abby and Brittany Hensel are dicephalus conjoined twins, meaning they share a body but have two separate heads. [1][2][3][4][5] They first gained national attention when they appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in 1996. [1][2][3][4][5] The twins later starred in the TLC reality series “Abby & Brittany” which documented their lives, including graduating from college and pursuing careers as teachers. [1][2][3][4][5]
When the twins were born in 1990, their parents decided against separation surgery as doctors said the chances of both surviving were low. [1][2] Abby controls the right arm and leg, while Brittany controls the left. They share most organs below the waist and have separate hearts, brains, and other key organs. [1][2][3][4][5]
In summary, the key update is that Abby Hensel, one of the famous conjoined Hensel twins, got married in 2021, which recently gained significant public attention that the twins have addressed on social media.
For this update April 2020, Abby and Brittany Hensel had a birthday recently on March 7th. Theirs as well as all other schools are closed due to the virus pandemic until May or later. We hope they are well and that they follow precautions to stay healthy.
In 2019, the twins were teaching full time at an elementary school in Minnesota. Before getting that job they had been in the media spotlight with a reality show, Abby & Brittany on TLC when they were 22-years-old. That show premiered on August 28, 2012 and ran until October 2, 2012. In the last episode, Abby & Brittany prepare for their first job in the real world. Around February 12, 2018 they started a new job as 5th grade teachers.

After returning from their post-college adventures, conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel excitedly shopped and prepared for their first day of school as fifth grade math teachers. As their mother remarked, when they were younger, the twins each wanted separate careers from the other, but are now thrilled about embarking on their new shared career. The school is as equally excited to have the twins as part of their staff.
Abby and Brittany Hensel are officially hired as elementary school teachers! After graduating from college and a year off touring Europe, these two incredible girls are preparing to take their first big step into the real world.
The Hensel twins have been working as teachers, both love their jobs teaching math.

While one of them is teaching and writing, the other one tries to answer as many questions as she can….
In a Discovery Channel interview, they said that they would like to get married someday and to have kids. The Hensel Twins turned 18 in 2008. Video updated new link to YouTube, June 9, 2018.
A set of twins who share the same body have celebrated their 18th birthday in the United States. Abigail and Brittany Hensel from Minnesota … have two hearts, and two spinal chords, but share the same torso have lived their lives side by side.
The teens who enjoy swimming, playing the piano and recently got their drivers’ licenses said they had no intention of being separated.
The girls have beaten the odds and doctors’ expectations to reach their milestone. It is believed there are only four sets of twins who share the same torso and have survived into adulthood. And they are on track to graduate from university, and hope to have a family of their own one day.
“We want to be mums, but haven’t thought how it would work,” Abigail said. The girls passed their driving exams with two separate licenses and two separate tests. Abigail worked the pedals, and Brittany used the indicators and they both held the steering wheel.
Their parents, nurse Patty, and carpenter Mike 48, decided not to have the twins separated at birth despite the risks. “From the first time we saw them we thought they were beautiful,” she told the Sunday Mirror. –telegraph
Like many twins they have very different personalities and tastes – even more so now they are teenagers. Abigail, the feisty, stubborn one, likes orange juice for breakfast while Brittany, the joker of the family, will touch only milk.
Abigail loves pink and all things girly but Brittany prefers purple, multi-coloured hair and wearing unusual hats, and now they have turned 16 they love to experiment with makeup and clothes and giggle about which boys they like.
But that is where the similarity with other teenage twins end. For Abigail and Brittany Hensel are conjoined, sharing one body fused at the torso. Each controls just one side of the body, and yet remarkably this has not prevented them leading a full, active and happy life.
Displaying an astonishing co- ordination which has stunned doctors, they play the piano -with Abigail taking the right-hand parts and Brittany the left – and enjoy sports such as bowling, volleyball, cycling, softball and swimming.
And on their 16th birthday they passed their driving test; a mind-boggling feat of teamwork with each twin using one arm to control the steering wheel. Brittany explains: ‘Abby does the pedals and the gear shifter. I take over the blinkers and the lights. But she likes driving faster than me.’
Abby & Brittany Hensel are two vivacious, funny and outgoing girls on the brink of their 22nd birthday and a quickly approaching college graduation. {ElmersUnrealSite}
“Two headed” conjoined twins Abigail Loraine Hensel and Britanny Lee Hensel had a short documentary about their lives on The Learning Channel. 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. Here are some photos of the Hensel twins which peers into some of the moments in their lives.

But the girls are more than curiosities. Their smiling faces and apparent good health seem a rebuke to the current medical trend of trying to separate, via surgery, ever more complexly conjoined twins–a trend that often means sacrificing one child so the other can live “normally.” And their tale of lives unpunctuated by solitude has much to teach all of us about the real meaning of individuality and the limitless power of human cooperation.
Conjoined twins are a rare event in the world’s delivery rooms. They occur about once in every 50,000 births, but 40% are stillborn, and, curiously, 70% are female. Conjoined twins are always identical: the product of a single egg that for some unknown reason failed to divide fully into separate twins during the first three weeks of gestation. In the U.S. there are perhaps 40 live cases each year; ordinary identical twins are 400 times as common. – {time}

Hensel twins 5 life photo at the pool
–—
I ran into them recently in Grand Marais, MN. It was the most amazing. They bounced out of their van with several other kids, laughing, bouncing, talking, and just having a ball. They were obviously accepted as [one] of the group. They must have outstanding parents. I feel honored to have witnessed their lives.
I am an identical twin and very close to my brother. These girls are great. I have seen them on TV a couple times, like Oprah. I think that people should leave there personnel lives alone. They have two lives and two minds. They have the right to some privacy in regard to sex and motherhood etc.
At what point do they become one? They each have their own head, brain & spinal cord, I understand, so to some degree they each have their own nervous system. They are truly two different individuals with the same body, but at what point? It appears they have one back but they each have a neck with their own head. Where does each spinal cord reside in the one body? Apparently they share the same sexual & digestive systems/organs. Do they each then share the same sensations and do their esophaguses come together at some point to merge into the same digestive system? Was it possible to separate them without sacrifices the life of one of them? Who is it that has the head on the left side? It appears that she may very well suffer from neck problems, and if not, I wonder why not.
I am a mother of dizygotic twins, they’re girl/boy, and look more different than most siblings, It appears that the identical twinning phenomenon, which is the only type of twin that can be conjoined, is not a heritable trait, and tons of twins have been in studies for generations. There is no more likelihood of them having twins, much less conjoined twins than anyone. Incidence of multiple identicals in one family tend to relate more to fecundity not genetics. Some women are also better at bearing twins where other people might not have brought them to viability. Large stature does help. Mosaicism is a subject for another day, but it does not have anything to do with the Hensels.
Di-zygotic twins can run in families, and has some genetic basis, It can be passed on through sons or daughters but it is only expressed by daughters. However, it seems to be better for survival to be a singleton, so, I don’t see that as and evolutionary path either.
All that interesting science aside, God made something beautiful in those two girls. I have no problem with evolution either and it makes too much sense to get all conflicted about science. When I think of my twins, the word syzygy comes to mind. Some stars are formed that orbit around each other in opposition and balance. Yes, they can also have satellites. It is a beautiful thing and all twins, no matter how similar or different, have to deal with the complementary nature of their lives. My daughter is right handed; my son is left handed. She has very straight blond hair; he has very curly brown hair. She has blue eyes and lighter skin; he has freckles and brown eyes. She is built in long tall straight lines and is slippery like spaghetti, he is compact, all wire and muscle and cling. She loves math; he loves books. Abigail and Brittany are more unique and amazing twins, but they are not alone in this experience. I find myself wondering about their handedness and how that might affect their aptitudes in academics.
In my opinion, the Hensels will be able to negotiate the balance of a marriage and children just fine, maybe better than most twins. I seriously doubt, as one post suggested, that they might avert their attention and think about something else, then have a child and choose to call one of them the mother, and the other the aunt and switch off in successive births. They will both love every one of their children as a mother. Did you see them greet and hold the baby at the park? They are both naturals. It is the rest of the world who has to adapt to children who have two moms. They are way ahead of the curve. Theirs is a more beautiful, complex, symmetrical, balanced life, not less. Perhaps that is what really motivated another poster to suggest they could represent a future evolution? (but that is more Xeno’s healthy imagination than science).
I hope they meet two men with a twin-like bond, but more than that, I hope they find very special men or a man that they love. According the the Hensels, they fight “all the time”, they should be champs at marriage!!
What an interesting display of human diversity we have in this comments section!!! XD i love it.
i especially like the way Xeno answers so calmly and sticks to his point (since noone has amde an actually challenging argument against his ideas). But i did notice Xeno, kinda-almost losing it in his next to last post, poor guy, the extremists within the christian ranks exasperate him so… hang in there Xeno, i think you’re doing it right as long as you don’t resort to the same kind of non-argument-retorts they use to make themselves feel like they’ve countered you effectively (so as to keep their minds at ease with their beliefs).
i believe everyone has a right to their own beliefs, and unfortunately i also believe they have the right to express those beliefs, no matter how hare brained they are, else we would not have a democracy.
but you, Xeno, unlike some have told you here, are not obliged to prove anything, since you are not even theorizing, you are just hypothesizing. And hypotheses can be as fancy as one likes… and you did support your ideas with data that can be researched, and re-analyzed if required or wanted.
as for the existence or non existence of God… why did they start telling you off for that? you never stated whether there was a God or not… just because you accept evolution as an explanation for the diversity of life… does that make you an atheist? (well some other things you said after being attacked for that did make you seem like an atheist =P), but if you’re an atheist that is your affair, I accept evolution as the source of life-diversity, I am also a firm believer in God, and a christian. is that contradictory??? i think not, i just accept what science has found as the way God designed the Universe, it is my personal belief (i repeat: PERSONAL BELIEF- it has not been empirically proved, and possibly a lot of christians disagree as well) that God designed the Universe in a way that it would be kinda self designing, like for example: God did not decide how humans would end up looking like, the Universe’s rules did (evolution or whatever rule of the universe it actually was =P).
again that is just my PERSONAL BELIEF, and i do not expect many others to agree, or need them to, i am happy thinking by myself. =P
i also believe, unlike most religious fundamentalists, that God gave us human knowledge to use it to get to know him and the Universe we live in better, and thus learn how to live better, not to ignore it becuase it is “mundane” and “evil”, because supposedly it does not come from God (and where the hell did it come from, if God didn’t give it to us??? and if God gave it to us, why shouldn’t we use it to our advantage???).
i like your ideas, Xeno, and you sound like you know your stuff, even if you’re not a believer, so keep at it.
God bless you (XD)
I accept evolution as the source of life-diversity, I am also a firm believer in God, and a christian. is that contradictory???
Yes, actually. A christian is one who follows after the teachings of Christ, has accepted His gift of salvation, and believes that He is God and thus is the author of the Bible which He wrote through the prophets and the apostles and so forth. To claim that you believe evolution is true is to deny the creation account of Genesis and thus you are in effect calling God/Jesus a liar. To claim to believe in evolution and Jesus is paradoxical as both concepts are in direct opposition.
Actually, you are in error. Jesus never talks of evolution nor does the Bible itself. Believing in a literal interpretation of the book we call Genesis is only one interpretation. Jesus himself doesn’t weigh in on the subject. Therefore, a person can be a true Christian and also believe in evolution.
I’ve added a diagram of their internal organs. You can see from the diagram that they share some parts. The twins do not discuss who controls and feels what regarding those shared parts. So, if you have a question about any of that, only they know the answer. The options are: Only one feels everything, the other, nothing. Or they each feel and control different parts in various spots. Or they both feel and have control over the same shared parts. Imagine sharing control of an arm, for example. It would be somewhat like hypnosis where your arm seems to move on its own sometimes.
Okay jeez. I looked on here because I was curious and bored, and find a whole discussion on these poor girls’ lives. Yes, we all have different ideas about what we believe to be true regarding science and religion, but do we have to do all the childish name-calling and dissing? Obviously the twins themselves aren’t a new species and nobody said they were. I think the point was that if a whole bunch of conjoined twins decided only to marry one another, eventually, over a very very long time, conjoined peoples and individual peoples would not be able to interbreed due to genetic make-up. Most of the people disagreeing with Xeno’s posts are people who have no idea what he/she is talking about: it is called biology, people, and the evolutionary THEORY. That is not to say there is no such thing as God or higher beings or whatever you believe in. It was what we as mere humans use to explain things with physical evidence. It is not necessarily factual, but it does have a lot of supporting evidence and therefore people who believe can in no way be called “close-minded fools.” At least there is evidence; it could be argued that the idea of the divine is mere speculation, because really, is there any proof at all?
Also, to Anon, who said Darwin gave us natural selection and not evolution . . . well, the fact is that natural selection is the process leading to evolution. In this situation, that would be if conjoined twins turned out to have a better survival rate than separate people. This is obviously not the case, but if it were, at some point there would be more of them than individual people, and eventually there would only be conjoined twins, a “new species.”
Please, people, don’t get so worked up over speculation, theories, and idle curiosity. It’s enough to give those of us just taking a peek around a headache. I mean, look what I just wrote! That was unplanned for.
And that said, I think these girls are incredible and we should all learn a lesson from them about tolerating others (hint hint). For those of you who have siblings, imagine for a moment that you are attached to them. Permanently. I don’t know about you, but I think if this were the case for all people, suicide cases would skyrocket enough for the human species to go extinct. Think about it.
With this site reaching 9,770 unique viewers in one day recently, I really do wonder if Abigail and Brittany Hensel have ever read this. Abigail, Brittany, if you do find this page, hi.
Totally fascinating. They are a miracle of sorts. When they get older, I hope someone makes a documentary of their lives. The fact that they are healthy is amazing and they are nice looking as well.
Hello,
My English is terrible, perhaps to translate well …
I saw the document in the Czech Television, me too excited and touched my feelings. Not regret it, because they envy the close person who is always close to, understands all the feelings and moods. I wish good luck girls and all their family, I admire the parents, siblings and friends. Good luck
Hela
i think its creepy but they didnt choose to be that way …. i just wonderd .. when they eat would they put double the wait on and do they both get hungry or ?
I am the mother of identical twins and as far as I understand it…
the earlier the egg splits, the more separate the babies will be. For example (the timing is just an example, I don’t really know if it takes an hour or a day):
Egg fertilized, egg splits…
on the same day means 2 placentas, 2 amniotic sacs, 2 babies
splits day 2 means 1 placenta, 2 sacs, 2 babies
splits day 3 means 1 placenta, 1 sac, 2 babies
after that, some parts of the baby itself will be joined together. So the longer the fetus has to develop before the split happens the more organs the two will share.
No matter what, this is a miracle! With or without religion, this is amazing, simply amazing!
Years ago it was thought that identicals were born with 1 placenta and fraternals had two. This is not the case and caused several identical twins to be misdiagnosed as fraternal. Interesting!
BTW, mine had one placenta, 2 sacs and suffered from Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome. I had fetal surgery when I was 18 weeks pregnant and it saved both of their lives. See http://www.fetalhope.org to learn more.
hi, i’m a conjoined twin just like them. WE know what they feel when people point or stare. We don’t like it, we’re all the same.We are a lot littler so we get teased a lot more.My name is Hannah and my name is Kady. We understand, and we think that people should be liked for how they are on the inside, not on the outside.Well bye for now.
Hello Kady and Hannah. Thanks for stopping by! Nice to meet you. How old are you? Ignore anyone who is rude. People are just curious. Some may even be secretly jealous because they are alone and you are not. The thing I am most curious about is if you share any body parts were you can both feel or that you can both control, and what is that like? Take care, Xeno
Some of questions are very offensive to me if not to the twins. None of us come with a manual. Time will take care of a lot of these issues as they are faced. I know God loves all of us and we each have a mission. I wish these girls a great deal of joy in their lives which belong exclusively to them and their families. God bless them.
These little dreams are true “HEROS”. I have researched this subject online, since seeing the Discovery Health Special on them, and I am amazed. I am learning from them as I go. The parents had no idea that they were even going to have twins………let along conjoined twins, until the birth. These little ladies are here for a purpose and God only knows how HE is using them as his tool to teach us. I have sat here and thought over and over …..if I complain about anything in my life – stike me down. I can’t IMAGINE what their life is like, but the BEAUTY of it is – their life is, quite obviously, WONDERFUL. They are as happy as clams, and it shows. They have a support system of siblings, friends, and astonishing parents. I still have a hard time wrapping my head around what life would be like if I were attached to my sister, and we are as close as two people can be. It is mind boggling, yet these TWO beautiful young girls are showing us what we all need to do to live in communion together. This is an awesome testiment to what a TRUE FAMILY is. We lost a son in 2002 with MD. I know how hard it is to watch a child go through life being “different”. This story gives that word a whole new meaning. The thing is, “different”, is always the mind changing thing. I wouldn’t trade my son’s 16 year life for anything. He was sent here by Jesus to teach us all…..and boy, did we learn from him. If he had been any different, he wouldn’t have been himself. These two little puddings are here for the same reason – DON’T MISS THE BLESSING. What a BEAUTIFUL family.
Lets just say for the sake of believers out there that God is real. Okay. The Universe is stable, humans are worshiping, and everything is in order.
But suddenly, hypothetically, God disappeared.
He just ceased to exist in our dimension.
What do you think would happen?
Would the world stop spining?
would people stop worshipping him?
or would everything that exist collapse in a torrent of panic and destruction?
no.
If God were to disappear, The ‘supposed’ laws of the Universe he created would keep gravity working, molecules fused together, and matter and life would continue the way it always had.
But what about the many followers He has? would they stop believing in him because he’s gone?
Of course not. There’s no evidence that he had disappeared or that he ever had.
People will believe in him although they have no proof He’s real.
Tragedies, death to millions of innocent people, prayers of a better life will continue to go unsolved.
Just as they do today.
So all in all, Why do we even need God? What the heck has he ever done for anyone of us lately that we didn’t truly do ourself?
For the sake of convenience they should have one spouse as they only have one set of reproductive organs. When twins are conjoined at the head and have two separate bodies and two sets of reproductive organs they then should have two spouses. They’ll have to decide amongst each other who would be the mother listed on the birth certificate. If they choose to have more than one they could take turns. Is this logical enough for everyone, or do we need to knit pick details and argue over it?
I found this site checking to see if the twins had their own webpage. I guess not. I can’t really blame them. Most likely they stay off the internet except for school and personal email.
I would think in this case a judge would rule bigotry as legal. It is certainly less complicated to have one husband since below the waist they are one person. Both their names should be listed on the birth certificate. How complicated is that?
As for bladder control, etc. I saw on the Oprah show years ago when she asked that they said when either one of the has to ‘go’, they ‘go’. That would seem to imply that they both have sensation below the waist. Other than that each twin controls one side of the body. They have two stomachs, but only one set of intestines.
They do certainly have two different personalities and I love to learn about their creative solutions to life’s problems. They are an inspiration of them all.
I’m all for your views xeno and I have been shouted down by religious fundamentalist in my part of the world for holding similar views. I’m really impressed by your dissertation, it looks solid in any event of such occurrence. Evolution is too solid to be discarded. God as Bertrand Russell intoned must have been man made. Keep up the Good work, you are inspirational.
I saw the follow up documentary on these girls when they were 16 or so and driving, they are very interesting young ladies and it was great to see how they choose cloths and do school work with two distinct personalities, I guess they are lucky they are both girls.
I also saw a great documentary, I think it was called “I am my own twin” you can see some of it on U-Tube and they say that many eggs/cells may fuse with or absorb another egg after splitting in different stages development. I think they are called “chimeras”. Some never fully fuse/absorb the other and can be born two people partially joined, two different sexes combined in one person ect. Some can have two different sets of DNA within different organs of a single person or both male and female organs ect.
Doctors sometimes decide what sex a baby will be and remove organs of the other sex but their minds are the opposite of what the doctor decided. Very interesting and strange stuff to think how many people may have started out as multiple people and now are one person and this puts in question, DNA testing, Gay genes, multiple personalities ect. Who knows what’s possible, you may be multiple people in one body and never know it.
It is not clear to me that this is a heritable trait. (For speciation to occur the trait must be able to be passed on to children.) There *may* be genetic factors that lead to increased likelihood of the fission or fusion events which lead to conjoined twins, but those factors may not necessarily always produce dicephalus conjoined twins–perhaps lots of different kinds of conjoined twins. Also there may be genetic factors in the mother not the twins, which are not necessarily heritable. Or there may not be any kind of genetic factor, just a random rare event during development.
I am a scientist and understand evolution, I just wanted to make the point that this is not a very clear example of genetic variation leading to traits which may be selected leading to speciation, because it is not clear how this might be a genetic trait. If someone else were born with the *exact* same DNA I hypothesize you would not have the same remarkable result.
All that aside, I am inspired by these young ladies and the challenges they face. I wish people would stop posting what they “should” do with their personal lives.
I agree Curt. If this were a heritable trait, it could lead to a new human species, but I have not seen any evidence that this is a heritable trait. I do not believe that it is.
The sisters create a teachable moment regarding genetics and species formation by sparking general interest in biology. They are enough of a different configuration of our biology to shock most people into realizing that there is a gap in their knowledge.
Unfortunately, most people do not understand even the basics regarding biology, much less molecular biology, genetics, and the evidence and arguments from those fields which support the theory of evolution.
Hi
I´m in Iceland and saw the film about these girls! Not everything in the world is perfect! Talk about separting them after birth because they can´t marry is not a good argument! They would have been very handicaped and I doubt it would have been possible. This is them like they are, at least they have eachother and that is a lot. Wheater they marry is not primary in their life, but with todays technology they could have help with getting child and raise one or more! That would be nice for them! Rut Iceland
On the topic of evolution, Xeno, I read the posts far up the page were one person comment something along the lines of “Why didn’t the mother abort if ultrasound was available and she saw that they would have a “handicap”. Sadly I temporarily agreed with her, but then your comment about how people with handicaps have contributed great things to the world reminded me of people like Daniel Tammet and others like him (Stephen Hawking comes to mind, though he wasn’t “born” with Lou Gerigs (Born in the sense that he had its symptoms when he was born, though it was in his DNA).
Anyway onto my point: Does the thought ever cross your mind that evolution has come to the point where it is just crawling for the human species? Thanks to modern medicine we can keep people alive long enough to reproduce that may not have made it in tougher/earlier times, arguably worsening the gene pool. I am extremely nearsighted, and the thought suddenly struck me the other day that in rough 3rd world countries the incidence of myopia and various other traits that probably worsen our chance of survival is most likely far less (just a somewhat educated guess), while in 1st world countries these same traits are allowed to thrive and continue on and on.
Do you think our large and powerful brains and quickly accelerating technology make up for the fact that most of us in the 1st world can manufacture a world around ourselves that perfectly matches what genetics and evolution has already given us, therefore “slowing” evolution since we aren’t forced to adapt quite as often?
Disabled and different people are just part of the glorious spectrum of humanity and as long as the condition from which they suffer isn’t too painful (for parents as well as children) then termination should be the very last option to consider.
And before all you naysayers and do-gooders start – I gave birth to a disabled daughter so – stop, think and walk a mile in my shoes before you judge.
Hi James,
We are the only animal I’m aware of which has moved it’s memory outside of its body (first books, now the net). Our communal memory allows us to make progress like no other animal toward our own survival. We are now working on hacking our own genetic code to directly influence our evolution. Our brains will, at some point, take over our evolution even more. We are branching off in this way, from all other life forms on earth. We are in the process of being born into a species that can form a spore, a spore that can leave this planet and colonize others. I believe this is our destiny. If it is not, our descendants will perish in approx. 5 billion years when the sun expands to a red giant, boils our atmosphere into space, and possibly engulfs the planet. Earth may end up inside the sun. We’re toast if we don’t evolve fast enough.
Just a minor side-note to your comments (and one which makes me despair).
I’m a paediatric consultant in one of the big cities in the UK, and a huge proportion of cases I see these days are kids with genetic diseases born from consanguinous marriages (that’s “people who are related by blood”, in case Anon thinks this is psychobabble too). I fully expect to be abused for this next statement but that doesn’t detract from the truth of it; most of these marriages are between Muslims – this is neither rascist nor ignorant, it’s a simple statement of fact.
This intermarrying is the result of – among other factors, I freely admit – the religious dictum to keep the blood pure. The results for some of these kids are horrific, and can mean a life of pain, isolation and misery while their parents concentrate on their “normal” siblings.
There you have it; religion is foolish, and bad for your health and the gene pool. By this I mean all most religions, not one in particular – the Catholic belief that contraception is sinful, for example, is just as ridiculous as a belief that intermarriage keeps the blood pure. It’s just that the example I’ve described is the one I have most experience with, and therefore feel able to comment on.
yeahh totally lol its not like we are sitting next to each other or nothin ehh lol ,, this is a bit like bebo ,, i should meke a profile with your head stuck on my shoulders 🙂
lyyy
Xxxxxxxx
Nahh i dont even noo yuu maynn!
n it is a bit like bebo we should come on ere more often :L,, nn i think tht we should do the picture thing,, i lovee youu my conjoyned twinn 🙂
xxxxx
basically i don’t believe in god. im an athiest.
although these girls are different from other people, they are NOT another speciese, they are human they have human organs and features, they speak, and they can walk.
back in to the subject of god, what evidence is there that he is real?
i was just reading a comment that there is a lack of evidence thet the theory of evolution is a load of crap basically, i disagree.
there is a vigorous amount more evidence that evolution is what happened.
i know all the stuff about how complex and fragile an eye is and only a human or a supirior being could create this but i just think that it is all just evolution, as technology gets stronger, so do humans. and technology and peoples appearences change every day hecnce these girl’s appearences.
if you give me evidence that god is real, i’ll understand why you have put the theory of evolution as an impossible thing.
it is very possible.
im not goin to go any deeper on the subject because i think i’ve said what i needed to say 🙂
by the way im bumm bummmmm 🙂
Personally, I believe their parents have been through the ringer trying to raise them. They each have different personalities and have to compromise on everything. If they are dating, that is their business and I am sure it would be posted somewhere. Abby and Brit, you are both very beautiful young ladies and it is a shame that you even have to put up with some of the things being said here. That being said, people will always be people and never truly understand life itself.
A set of twins who share the same body have celebrated their 18th birthday in the United States. Abigail and Brittany Hensel from Minnesota … have two hearts, and two spinal chords, but share the same torso have lived their lives side by side.

Oh, and a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY girls! Stay hot!
LOL its “Anonymous.” Can no one spell it correctly?
I like “Ann On A Mouse”. I think that would be a great band name.
I am an identical twin and very close to my brother. These girls are great. I have seen them on TV a couple times, like Oprah. I think that people should leave there personnel lives alone. They have two lives and two minds. They have the right to some privacy in regard to sex and motherhood etc.
At what point do they become one? They each have their own head, brain & spinal cord, I understand, so to some degree they each have their own nervous system. They are truly two different individuals with the same body, but at what point? It appears they have one back but they each have a neck with their own head. Where does each spinal cord reside in the one body? Apparently they share the same sexual & digestive systems/organs. Do they each then share the same sensations and do their esophaguses come together at some point to merge into the same digestive system? Was it possible to separate them without sacrifices the life of one of them? Who is it that has the head on the left side? It appears that she may very well suffer from neck problems, and if not, I wonder why not.
I am a mother of dizygotic twins, they’re girl/boy, and look more different than most siblings, It appears that the identical twinning phenomenon, which is the only type of twin that can be conjoined, is not a heritable trait, and tons of twins have been in studies for generations. There is no more likelihood of them having twins, much less conjoined twins than anyone. Incidence of multiple identicals in one family tend to relate more to fecundity not genetics. Some women are also better at bearing twins where other people might not have brought them to viability. Large stature does help. Mosaicism is a subject for another day, but it does not have anything to do with the Hensels.
Di-zygotic twins can run in families, and has some genetic basis, It can be passed on through sons or daughters but it is only expressed by daughters. However, it seems to be better for survival to be a singleton, so, I don’t see that as and evolutionary path either.
All that interesting science aside, God made something beautiful in those two girls. I have no problem with evolution either and it makes too much sense to get all conflicted about science. When I think of my twins, the word syzygy comes to mind. Some stars are formed that orbit around each other in opposition and balance. Yes, they can also have satellites. It is a beautiful thing and all twins, no matter how similar or different, have to deal with the complementary nature of their lives. My daughter is right handed; my son is left handed. She has very straight blond hair; he has very curly brown hair. She has blue eyes and lighter skin; he has freckles and brown eyes. She is built in long tall straight lines and is slippery like spaghetti, he is compact, all wire and muscle and cling. She loves math; he loves books. Abigail and Brittany are more unique and amazing twins, but they are not alone in this experience. I find myself wondering about their handedness and how that might affect their aptitudes in academics.
In my opinion, the Hensels will be able to negotiate the balance of a marriage and children just fine, maybe better than most twins. I seriously doubt, as one post suggested, that they might avert their attention and think about something else, then have a child and choose to call one of them the mother, and the other the aunt and switch off in successive births. They will both love every one of their children as a mother. Did you see them greet and hold the baby at the park? They are both naturals. It is the rest of the world who has to adapt to children who have two moms. They are way ahead of the curve. Theirs is a more beautiful, complex, symmetrical, balanced life, not less. Perhaps that is what really motivated another poster to suggest they could represent a future evolution? (but that is more Xeno’s healthy imagination than science).
I hope they meet two men with a twin-like bond, but more than that, I hope they find very special men or a man that they love. According the the Hensels, they fight “all the time”, they should be champs at marriage!!
What an interesting display of human diversity we have in this comments section!!! XD i love it.
i especially like the way Xeno answers so calmly and sticks to his point (since noone has amde an actually challenging argument against his ideas). But i did notice Xeno, kinda-almost losing it in his next to last post, poor guy, the extremists within the christian ranks exasperate him so… hang in there Xeno, i think you’re doing it right as long as you don’t resort to the same kind of non-argument-retorts they use to make themselves feel like they’ve countered you effectively (so as to keep their minds at ease with their beliefs).
i believe everyone has a right to their own beliefs, and unfortunately i also believe they have the right to express those beliefs, no matter how hare brained they are, else we would not have a democracy.
but you, Xeno, unlike some have told you here, are not obliged to prove anything, since you are not even theorizing, you are just hypothesizing. And hypotheses can be as fancy as one likes… and you did support your ideas with data that can be researched, and re-analyzed if required or wanted.
as for the existence or non existence of God… why did they start telling you off for that? you never stated whether there was a God or not… just because you accept evolution as an explanation for the diversity of life… does that make you an atheist? (well some other things you said after being attacked for that did make you seem like an atheist =P), but if you’re an atheist that is your affair, I accept evolution as the source of life-diversity, I am also a firm believer in God, and a christian. is that contradictory??? i think not, i just accept what science has found as the way God designed the Universe, it is my personal belief (i repeat: PERSONAL BELIEF- it has not been empirically proved, and possibly a lot of christians disagree as well) that God designed the Universe in a way that it would be kinda self designing, like for example: God did not decide how humans would end up looking like, the Universe’s rules did (evolution or whatever rule of the universe it actually was =P).
again that is just my PERSONAL BELIEF, and i do not expect many others to agree, or need them to, i am happy thinking by myself. =P
i also believe, unlike most religious fundamentalists, that God gave us human knowledge to use it to get to know him and the Universe we live in better, and thus learn how to live better, not to ignore it becuase it is “mundane” and “evil”, because supposedly it does not come from God (and where the hell did it come from, if God didn’t give it to us??? and if God gave it to us, why shouldn’t we use it to our advantage???).
i like your ideas, Xeno, and you sound like you know your stuff, even if you’re not a believer, so keep at it.
God bless you (XD)
I accept evolution as the source of life-diversity, I am also a firm believer in God, and a christian. is that contradictory???
Yes, actually. A christian is one who follows after the teachings of Christ, has accepted His gift of salvation, and believes that He is God and thus is the author of the Bible which He wrote through the prophets and the apostles and so forth. To claim that you believe evolution is true is to deny the creation account of Genesis and thus you are in effect calling God/Jesus a liar. To claim to believe in evolution and Jesus is paradoxical as both concepts are in direct opposition.
Actually, you are in error. Jesus never talks of evolution nor does the Bible itself. Believing in a literal interpretation of the book we call Genesis is only one interpretation. Jesus himself doesn’t weigh in on the subject. Therefore, a person can be a true Christian and also believe in evolution.
oh, and the conjoined twins are awesome, and beautiful, and i wish them a long and joyous life, and i hope they keep on inspiring people like that.
Understanding takes time, but the payoff is great.
not to be rude but im curios [about their bathroom functions]
-brittany e
I’ve added a diagram of their internal organs. You can see from the diagram that they share some parts. The twins do not discuss who controls and feels what regarding those shared parts. So, if you have a question about any of that, only they know the answer. The options are: Only one feels everything, the other, nothing. Or they each feel and control different parts in various spots. Or they both feel and have control over the same shared parts. Imagine sharing control of an arm, for example. It would be somewhat like hypnosis where your arm seems to move on its own sometimes.
Religion is a crutch for the weak of mind.
Wow, Would almost hate to be them. Too many idiots asking extremely personal questions. Or calling them a new species. Really..
I bet the birthday would be awesome…
Okay jeez. I looked on here because I was curious and bored, and find a whole discussion on these poor girls’ lives. Yes, we all have different ideas about what we believe to be true regarding science and religion, but do we have to do all the childish name-calling and dissing? Obviously the twins themselves aren’t a new species and nobody said they were. I think the point was that if a whole bunch of conjoined twins decided only to marry one another, eventually, over a very very long time, conjoined peoples and individual peoples would not be able to interbreed due to genetic make-up. Most of the people disagreeing with Xeno’s posts are people who have no idea what he/she is talking about: it is called biology, people, and the evolutionary THEORY. That is not to say there is no such thing as God or higher beings or whatever you believe in. It was what we as mere humans use to explain things with physical evidence. It is not necessarily factual, but it does have a lot of supporting evidence and therefore people who believe can in no way be called “close-minded fools.” At least there is evidence; it could be argued that the idea of the divine is mere speculation, because really, is there any proof at all?
Also, to Anon, who said Darwin gave us natural selection and not evolution . . . well, the fact is that natural selection is the process leading to evolution. In this situation, that would be if conjoined twins turned out to have a better survival rate than separate people. This is obviously not the case, but if it were, at some point there would be more of them than individual people, and eventually there would only be conjoined twins, a “new species.”
Please, people, don’t get so worked up over speculation, theories, and idle curiosity. It’s enough to give those of us just taking a peek around a headache. I mean, look what I just wrote! That was unplanned for.
And that said, I think these girls are incredible and we should all learn a lesson from them about tolerating others (hint hint). For those of you who have siblings, imagine for a moment that you are attached to them. Permanently. I don’t know about you, but I think if this were the case for all people, suicide cases would skyrocket enough for the human species to go extinct. Think about it.
I came here accidently. Wow…creepy. We’re moving to Chicago in June… I miss you!!! 🙂
I think you gals are amazing. I hope to learn more about your journey, so carry on and continue to enlighten.
failure to believe in God shows weakness of mind not the reverse. These girls are a new species? I suggest Xeno is.
Erudite,
Thanks for stopping by. See above. I’ve already answered. Yes, you found me out. I am a new species, Xeno erectus. Have a nice day.
Good Luck in college girls. I hope you do well. I really respect both of you.
With this site reaching 9,770 unique viewers in one day recently, I really do wonder if Abigail and Brittany Hensel have ever read this. Abigail, Brittany, if you do find this page, hi.
Totally fascinating. They are a miracle of sorts. When they get older, I hope someone makes a documentary of their lives. The fact that they are healthy is amazing and they are nice looking as well.
hello abby and brittany. iwould like to meet you 2 one day.
me too they are sexxyyy 😉
ohh id like to meet them too,, i agree,, very sexyy 😉
Hello,
My English is terrible, perhaps to translate well …
I saw the document in the Czech Television, me too excited and touched my feelings. Not regret it, because they envy the close person who is always close to, understands all the feelings and moods. I wish good luck girls and all their family, I admire the parents, siblings and friends. Good luck
Hela
i think its creepy but they didnt choose to be that way …. i just wonderd .. when they eat would they put double the wait on and do they both get hungry or ?
love from charlie x x
I am the mother of identical twins and as far as I understand it…
the earlier the egg splits, the more separate the babies will be. For example (the timing is just an example, I don’t really know if it takes an hour or a day):
Egg fertilized, egg splits…
on the same day means 2 placentas, 2 amniotic sacs, 2 babies
splits day 2 means 1 placenta, 2 sacs, 2 babies
splits day 3 means 1 placenta, 1 sac, 2 babies
after that, some parts of the baby itself will be joined together. So the longer the fetus has to develop before the split happens the more organs the two will share.
No matter what, this is a miracle! With or without religion, this is amazing, simply amazing!
Years ago it was thought that identicals were born with 1 placenta and fraternals had two. This is not the case and caused several identical twins to be misdiagnosed as fraternal. Interesting!
BTW, mine had one placenta, 2 sacs and suffered from Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome. I had fetal surgery when I was 18 weeks pregnant and it saved both of their lives. See http://www.fetalhope.org to learn more.
hi, i’m a conjoined twin just like them. WE know what they feel when people point or stare. We don’t like it, we’re all the same.We are a lot littler so we get teased a lot more.My name is Hannah and my name is Kady. We understand, and we think that people should be liked for how they are on the inside, not on the outside.Well bye for now.
Hello Kady and Hannah. Thanks for stopping by! Nice to meet you. How old are you? Ignore anyone who is rude. People are just curious. Some may even be secretly jealous because they are alone and you are not. The thing I am most curious about is if you share any body parts were you can both feel or that you can both control, and what is that like? Take care, Xeno
Hi hensel twins my name is jimmy. i enjoyed your website watched your show on tv. please reply sorry to the typeing i hav cerebarl palsy.

Recebi um e-mail sobre voces, é impressionante, deve ser uma luta a cada dia, mas vendo as fotos dar para ver como são felizes, desejamos toda felicidade do mundo, se então vivas e algum para mostrar para o humano que devemos respeitar e amar uns aos outros, Parabéns Abigail e Brittany!!! E ENFRENTÃO TODOS OS OBSTACULOS QUE A VIDA NOS DÁ E VENCERÃO O PRECONCEITO.
KISS
FELICIDADES
Some of questions are very offensive to me if not to the twins. None of us come with a manual. Time will take care of a lot of these issues as they are faced. I know God loves all of us and we each have a mission. I wish these girls a great deal of joy in their lives which belong exclusively to them and their families. God bless them.
These little dreams are true “HEROS”. I have researched this subject online, since seeing the Discovery Health Special on them, and I am amazed. I am learning from them as I go. The parents had no idea that they were even going to have twins………let along conjoined twins, until the birth. These little ladies are here for a purpose and God only knows how HE is using them as his tool to teach us. I have sat here and thought over and over …..if I complain about anything in my life – stike me down. I can’t IMAGINE what their life is like, but the BEAUTY of it is – their life is, quite obviously, WONDERFUL. They are as happy as clams, and it shows. They have a support system of siblings, friends, and astonishing parents. I still have a hard time wrapping my head around what life would be like if I were attached to my sister, and we are as close as two people can be. It is mind boggling, yet these TWO beautiful young girls are showing us what we all need to do to live in communion together. This is an awesome testiment to what a TRUE FAMILY is. We lost a son in 2002 with MD. I know how hard it is to watch a child go through life being “different”. This story gives that word a whole new meaning. The thing is, “different”, is always the mind changing thing. I wouldn’t trade my son’s 16 year life for anything. He was sent here by Jesus to teach us all…..and boy, did we learn from him. If he had been any different, he wouldn’t have been himself. These two little puddings are here for the same reason – DON’T MISS THE BLESSING. What a BEAUTIFUL family.
Here’s my two cents.
Lets just say for the sake of believers out there that God is real. Okay. The Universe is stable, humans are worshiping, and everything is in order.
But suddenly, hypothetically, God disappeared.
He just ceased to exist in our dimension.
What do you think would happen?
Would the world stop spining?
would people stop worshipping him?
or would everything that exist collapse in a torrent of panic and destruction?
no.
If God were to disappear, The ‘supposed’ laws of the Universe he created would keep gravity working, molecules fused together, and matter and life would continue the way it always had.
But what about the many followers He has? would they stop believing in him because he’s gone?
Of course not. There’s no evidence that he had disappeared or that he ever had.
People will believe in him although they have no proof He’s real.
Tragedies, death to millions of innocent people, prayers of a better life will continue to go unsolved.
Just as they do today.
So all in all, Why do we even need God? What the heck has he ever done for anyone of us lately that we didn’t truly do ourself?
you are great inspiration all over the world
you are so beautiful, smart and amazing
god bless you Abigail and Brittany Hense

For the sake of convenience they should have one spouse as they only have one set of reproductive organs. When twins are conjoined at the head and have two separate bodies and two sets of reproductive organs they then should have two spouses. They’ll have to decide amongst each other who would be the mother listed on the birth certificate. If they choose to have more than one they could take turns. Is this logical enough for everyone, or do we need to knit pick details and argue over it?
I found this site checking to see if the twins had their own webpage. I guess not. I can’t really blame them. Most likely they stay off the internet except for school and personal email.
I would think in this case a judge would rule bigotry as legal. It is certainly less complicated to have one husband since below the waist they are one person. Both their names should be listed on the birth certificate. How complicated is that?
As for bladder control, etc. I saw on the Oprah show years ago when she asked that they said when either one of the has to ‘go’, they ‘go’. That would seem to imply that they both have sensation below the waist. Other than that each twin controls one side of the body. They have two stomachs, but only one set of intestines.
They do certainly have two different personalities and I love to learn about their creative solutions to life’s problems. They are an inspiration of them all.

I’m an idiot! I meant bigamy NOT bigotry. Too little sleep and freudian slips.
Time for ME to get back to school work.
Sorry if I offended anyone.

Better watch out for that Lori person…
I’m all for your views xeno and I have been shouted down by religious fundamentalist in my part of the world for holding similar views. I’m really impressed by your dissertation, it looks solid in any event of such occurrence. Evolution is too solid to be discarded. God as Bertrand Russell intoned must have been man made. Keep up the Good work, you are inspirational.
I saw the follow up documentary on these girls when they were 16 or so and driving, they are very interesting young ladies and it was great to see how they choose cloths and do school work with two distinct personalities, I guess they are lucky they are both girls.
I also saw a great documentary, I think it was called “I am my own twin” you can see some of it on U-Tube and they say that many eggs/cells may fuse with or absorb another egg after splitting in different stages development. I think they are called “chimeras”. Some never fully fuse/absorb the other and can be born two people partially joined, two different sexes combined in one person ect. Some can have two different sets of DNA within different organs of a single person or both male and female organs ect.
Doctors sometimes decide what sex a baby will be and remove organs of the other sex but their minds are the opposite of what the doctor decided. Very interesting and strange stuff to think how many people may have started out as multiple people and now are one person and this puts in question, DNA testing, Gay genes, multiple personalities ect. Who knows what’s possible, you may be multiple people in one body and never know it.
It is not clear to me that this is a heritable trait. (For speciation to occur the trait must be able to be passed on to children.) There *may* be genetic factors that lead to increased likelihood of the fission or fusion events which lead to conjoined twins, but those factors may not necessarily always produce dicephalus conjoined twins–perhaps lots of different kinds of conjoined twins. Also there may be genetic factors in the mother not the twins, which are not necessarily heritable. Or there may not be any kind of genetic factor, just a random rare event during development.
I am a scientist and understand evolution, I just wanted to make the point that this is not a very clear example of genetic variation leading to traits which may be selected leading to speciation, because it is not clear how this might be a genetic trait. If someone else were born with the *exact* same DNA I hypothesize you would not have the same remarkable result.
All that aside, I am inspired by these young ladies and the challenges they face. I wish people would stop posting what they “should” do with their personal lives.
I agree Curt. If this were a heritable trait, it could lead to a new human species, but I have not seen any evidence that this is a heritable trait. I do not believe that it is.
The sisters create a teachable moment regarding genetics and species formation by sparking general interest in biology. They are enough of a different configuration of our biology to shock most people into realizing that there is a gap in their knowledge.
Unfortunately, most people do not understand even the basics regarding biology, much less molecular biology, genetics, and the evidence and arguments from those fields which support the theory of evolution.
Hi
I´m in Iceland and saw the film about these girls! Not everything in the world is perfect! Talk about separting them after birth because they can´t marry is not a good argument! They would have been very handicaped and I doubt it would have been possible. This is them like they are, at least they have eachother and that is a lot. Wheater they marry is not primary in their life, but with todays technology they could have help with getting child and raise one or more! That would be nice for them! Rut Iceland
On the topic of evolution, Xeno, I read the posts far up the page were one person comment something along the lines of “Why didn’t the mother abort if ultrasound was available and she saw that they would have a “handicap”. Sadly I temporarily agreed with her, but then your comment about how people with handicaps have contributed great things to the world reminded me of people like Daniel Tammet and others like him (Stephen Hawking comes to mind, though he wasn’t “born” with Lou Gerigs (Born in the sense that he had its symptoms when he was born, though it was in his DNA).
Anyway onto my point: Does the thought ever cross your mind that evolution has come to the point where it is just crawling for the human species? Thanks to modern medicine we can keep people alive long enough to reproduce that may not have made it in tougher/earlier times, arguably worsening the gene pool. I am extremely nearsighted, and the thought suddenly struck me the other day that in rough 3rd world countries the incidence of myopia and various other traits that probably worsen our chance of survival is most likely far less (just a somewhat educated guess), while in 1st world countries these same traits are allowed to thrive and continue on and on.
Do you think our large and powerful brains and quickly accelerating technology make up for the fact that most of us in the 1st world can manufacture a world around ourselves that perfectly matches what genetics and evolution has already given us, therefore “slowing” evolution since we aren’t forced to adapt quite as often?
Just some strange musings before I fall asleep.
Disabled and different people are just part of the glorious spectrum of humanity and as long as the condition from which they suffer isn’t too painful (for parents as well as children) then termination should be the very last option to consider.
And before all you naysayers and do-gooders start – I gave birth to a disabled daughter so – stop, think and walk a mile in my shoes before you judge.
Hi James,
We are the only animal I’m aware of which has moved it’s memory outside of its body (first books, now the net). Our communal memory allows us to make progress like no other animal toward our own survival. We are now working on hacking our own genetic code to directly influence our evolution. Our brains will, at some point, take over our evolution even more. We are branching off in this way, from all other life forms on earth. We are in the process of being born into a species that can form a spore, a spore that can leave this planet and colonize others. I believe this is our destiny. If it is not, our descendants will perish in approx. 5 billion years when the sun expands to a red giant, boils our atmosphere into space, and possibly engulfs the planet. Earth may end up inside the sun. We’re toast if we don’t evolve fast enough.
Hi James and Xeno.
Just a minor side-note to your comments (and one which makes me despair).
I’m a paediatric consultant in one of the big cities in the UK, and a huge proportion of cases I see these days are kids with genetic diseases born from consanguinous marriages (that’s “people who are related by blood”, in case Anon thinks this is psychobabble too). I fully expect to be abused for this next statement but that doesn’t detract from the truth of it; most of these marriages are between Muslims – this is neither rascist nor ignorant, it’s a simple statement of fact.
This intermarrying is the result of – among other factors, I freely admit – the religious dictum to keep the blood pure. The results for some of these kids are horrific, and can mean a life of pain, isolation and misery while their parents concentrate on their “normal” siblings.
There you have it; religion is foolish, and bad for your health and the gene pool. By this I mean all most religions, not one in particular – the Catholic belief that contraception is sinful, for example, is just as ridiculous as a belief that intermarriage keeps the blood pure. It’s just that the example I’ve described is the one I have most experience with, and therefore feel able to comment on.
Jaydee + Jodiee in study skills : pahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
laughing at the photos i wouldnt let that sit on me!!!!!
Leafy+Twiggy sat in study skills Lookin at these pics,, Laughing pphhhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha
These cheerd me upp thankss girlss 🙂

ich leibe du
iluu’
Xxxxxxxx
am off nowww Byeeeeee 🙂 Xxxxxxxxxxx
right, leafy and twiggy and bumm bummmm shut uppp
basically i don’t believe in god. im an athiest.
although these girls are different from other people, they are NOT another speciese, they are human they have human organs and features, they speak, and they can walk.
back in to the subject of god, what evidence is there that he is real?
i was just reading a comment that there is a lack of evidence thet the theory of evolution is a load of crap basically, i disagree.
there is a vigorous amount more evidence that evolution is what happened.
i know all the stuff about how complex and fragile an eye is and only a human or a supirior being could create this but i just think that it is all just evolution, as technology gets stronger, so do humans. and technology and peoples appearences change every day hecnce these girl’s appearences.
if you give me evidence that god is real, i’ll understand why you have put the theory of evolution as an impossible thing.
it is very possible.
im not goin to go any deeper on the subject because i think i’ve said what i needed to say 🙂
by the way im bumm bummmmm 🙂
How did the world begin, and how was the stuff before caused..:)
Also there has to be faith rather than evidence
Personally, I believe their parents have been through the ringer trying to raise them. They each have different personalities and have to compromise on everything. If they are dating, that is their business and I am sure it would be posted somewhere. Abby and Brit, you are both very beautiful young ladies and it is a shame that you even have to put up with some of the things being said here. That being said, people will always be people and never truly understand life itself.
