What we should care about is health - reduction of morbidity and mortality. Too often, we instead pay attention to whether something is 'normal.' A hospital may spend several million dollars separating a pair of conjoined twins, even though that separation is likely to leave them worse off.

One of the reasons surgeons have so much trouble separating Siamese twins is that nobody gets to do many of them. On the table, the anatomy is so different from normal, that you're constantly trying to figure out, 'Can I cut this? Does this wire lead to what?' It's like trying to defuse a bomb.

When you see a merger between two giants in a declining industry, it can look like the financial version of a couple having a baby to save a marriage.

The special relationship between twins is that, if there's anyone else in the world that's going to get or be the confidant that you need, it's an identical twin.

Twins have a special bond. They feel safer with each other than with their peers.

I would love to have twins. I think there's something nice about having two babies, and they're there for each other their whole entire life.

Placing 'amicable' and 'separation' together creates an oxymoron - we don't usually decide to end a partnership until the very sight of our soon-to-be ex fills us with disgust, misery, agony or a combination of all three.

True twins share womb chemistry and endure many fateful slings and arrows together. The fabled connection between twins is true in my case.

Well, there are conjoined twins in real life and we can tell a story about them so long as they're not the brunt of the jokes. In this, they're the heroes of this story; we love these guys.

There are two things in life for which we are never truly prepared: twins.
