I'm still not clear on this, he had two heads but only one brain? Because if each head had a brain wouldn't it be two people instead of one? I guess it doesn't really matter now, but I MUST KNOW.

...Where does it say that he/they had one brain?

[dewdropper]

It doesn't. I was asking if it did, since they keep referring to it as one person, rather than two. Is it a baby with an extra head that is controlled by one brain, or two babies that share one body? It doesn't really matter which I guess, but I'm curious.

i think there's a certain percentage of body organs that need to be duplicated for that sort of deformity to count as two people. a person with an extra arm would still be one person. siamese twins with only two arms, but with separate everything else would still be two people. i guess it's b/c they wouldn't be able to 'make' two people by removing a head or whatever. out of morbid curiosity i found myself wondering if the two heads would have disagreed as they got older. i know some two-headed reptiles have that problem.

That's really sad :( It would have been interesting to see how they grew up.
