In summary, the doctors did not inform the twins of the risks of the operation and they died as a result.

This is bull, do you guys realize that this is a f*king murder that CNN supposedly reports as a "sad tragedy"? It makes me sick how these doctors can get away with something like this...those poor twins! These doctors needed to try out their new theory and they chose these twins as their subject...Oh and they said they wanted to "provide a better life" for them. Screw that sh*t! Wat do u guys think about this?

Well, I can't go inside the minds and souls of the doctors so I really can't say anything.

Aight Cletus, let's make this simple. It is sad that they have passed. I really had hopes for them.

They have lived a life in which one or the other was forced into a situation they may not have wanted to be in. They've been two minds, essentially 2 bodys joined together.

Just for one second try to think about how much life would suck if you lived like that.

They had some years under their belts, not many but some. They were informed that there was a 50/50 chance of survival. They made the decision to take the risk because they thought that death would be a welcome change to the life they'd been living.

But you may form whatever opinions you wish.

no, not murder because the twins were 100% aware of the risks...besides, they desired this surgery because they wanted to live more of a separate life...

PiRsq I understand your in grief too. We all are as it's a heartbreaking loss. As kerrie said they knew the risks. I'm sure they were in great hands, but sometimes unexpected things happen.

U kno, the media is a bi*ch! Especially the fags at CNN. Not the reporters but the people who make the story. I bet you that the docs told the twins that there was a "GOOD" chance of survival where they told the media that there was a 50/50 chance of survival because they knew there wasnt a 50/50 chance of survival there was going to be more like a 0/100 chance of survival! This has never been done before so why all of the sudden do it on someone from Iran? Are they the only ones in this WORLD with that sort of problem? They just had to find a test subject ppl..Of course the media is going to say that the Iranian twins were "very well aware of the risks" and they wanted to live a separate life. Somehow I feel that the twins were VERY WELL MISINFORMED about this surgery and were lied to about the outcome. Plus if they have lived 20 some odd yrs together and they probably wouldve hoped to die as ONE and not as different ppl...I don't know that's how I feel about this situation

I completeyly agree with you the media dose suck it is all about the benjermans...baby...But in all truth the twins had even siad they where completely aware of the risks. I do however believe that the doctors shoudl have been more presetent with the risks on account of the major vain and the fact that we still are rather new at this

Yes its very sad and tragic, but why get so ****ty about this? they wanted the operation because they wanted to live there own lives not have to spend the rest of their lives stuck together. I known that i would rather die than have a part of my anatomy stuck to someone else from birth.

It is a sad tragedy, however they were well aware of the risk. In fact they had been trying to get a doctor willing to try and perform the operation on them since they were teenagers.

After about fifty hours, the operation wasn't going well and the doctors paused to review the wishes of the twins. Their wish was to be separated no matter what.

It is too bad, they sound like they were remarkable women.

These women were very couragious to have undergone a surgery that has never been successful... with adult conjoined twins.

They wanted separation at any cost... even death. They were filmed saying exactly that... in english.

When the surgery didn't work and the women died, they gained a definite separation... and so... they have achieved a semblance of their dream. I am happy for them.

As for the lot of twisted knickers who would have denied these women a chance at a life separate from one another... I have a good idea for a protest for you...

get some duct tape and tape your head to someone with twisted kickers like yourself.

Stay like that for 29 years... then come back and tell us about your problem with these women's courage.
 

1. What is the Iranian Conjoined Twins Murder case?

The Iranian Conjoined Twins Murder case refers to the tragic incident that occurred in Iran in 2008, where 29-year-old conjoined twins, Ladan and Laleh Bijani, passed away during a risky surgery to separate them.

2. What was the reason for the surgery?

The Bijani twins were conjoined at the head and had expressed a desire to be separated in order to live independent lives. The surgery was seen as their only chance at achieving this.

3. What were the challenges faced during the surgery?

The surgery to separate the Bijani twins was highly complex and risky due to the shared blood vessels and brain tissue. The team of surgeons had to carefully plan and execute the surgery to minimize the risk of complications.

4. What was the outcome of the surgery?

Unfortunately, the surgery was not successful and both Ladan and Laleh Bijani passed away during the procedure. The shared blood vessels caused excessive bleeding, and despite the efforts of the medical team, they could not be saved.

5. Was there any controversy surrounding the surgery?

There was much controversy surrounding the surgery, as some medical professionals argued that it was too risky and should not have been attempted. However, others believed that it was the twins' choice and right to undergo the surgery in pursuit of their independence.
