Conjoined Twins: Abigail and Britanny Hensel
|
Abigail “Abby” Loraine Hensel and Britanny Lee Hensel are dicephalic conjoined twins. Britanny is the left twin while Abigail is the right twin. They have two spines which join at the pelvis. They have two stomachs, three lungs and at birth three arms of which one of them was amputated in infancy. |
This is a television appearance on The Learning Channel around the time of their 16th birthday which was aired in December 17, 2006. The Learning Channel looks into the life of Abby and Britanny on how they coordinate between each other during school and daily activities.

i think brittany and abby are both great

i believe that if we all could see past what we consider to be others disabilities, then we only see the person(s) and not their disabilities. i.e. chemistry. most people are superficial. this is normal i guess. our mother on the other hand was born with only one hand ( no pun intended) she raised nine of us. and twins on top of that. we only have to live as these so called special people to ee life in their eyes and then probably their lives would be no different than ours. abby and brittany are on top of my lists.

every time i hear about 2 people joined like this everyone say how inspiring they are and all that bullshit.

would they have 2 diff boyfriends ? would they share one ?
does one control one side ?
if one shot some one would they both go to jail?
i have 100 more stupid questions but i wanna know the answers damit.

I originally saw Abby and Brittany many years ago on Ophra. I was amazed at the girls and her parents…there love, strength, and compasion. I had never seen conjoined twins in that stage before and was so moved that I never forgot them. I’ve seen them many times on television and still in awe at there ability to do anything that they want. Nothing is going to stop them! Congratulations girls for being the inspiration to many other young people and I would be honored if I should ever meet you someday.
February 13th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
I think it is natural to have many questions about conjoined persons as I have seen above. But, to ask very personal questions of anyone, I think is invasive and offensive to the human psyche. The only way any of us will ever have answers to some of these totally insensitive questions presented on this website is if the HUMAN BEINGS, just like you and me, would be willing to reveal their answers.

God Bless both of you

you girls are awesome! Keep it up!

[...] A baby girl in India was born with two faces, two mouths and four eyes in the rural Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh. Villagers claim that she is the reincarnation of the Indian God Ganesha and crowds offered gifts and money for the little baby girl. Doctors are not yet able to say if she is able to eat and function normally. Hoping the best for her survival and even with a birth deformity, the baby could still live a normal life with example in the case of Abigail and Brittany Hensel. [...]
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:09 am
Amazing. I can’t help thinking though… how do they move? Does each one control an arm and a leg? Does just one control the legs? That would definitely be an interesting experience.

[...] 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 [...]

I just been watching documentaries and l just learned about the identical twins Abby and Brittany just about a week ago and never knew they existed but I think they are the coolest people ever. They can do so much more than I can. I always wanted a twin, identical or fraternal it didnt matter but being conjoined is neat. I Wish I could ask them alot of questions. Do they look at this page??? I had wondered about if one died if both would die also or if the one died she would be surgically removed and buried. I know this is a morbid question but just wondering. I would be honored to even get to meet them. I think they are awsome. I know they just turned 18 in March of this year and think its wonderful how they do things. If you think about it they are totally 2 different people. Identical twins are where the egg separates into 2 babies and in Abby and brittanys case it didnt separate all the way. In one documentary their younger brother and sister says they are crabby when they get up. Do they not sleep good at night? and why? and how do they sleep? do they keep each other awake? I will check back tommorow.

yes kymmy, those are two freaks and ive looked at myself in a mirror and im a freak too. im 16 and i have an 11 inch dong, i mean thats borderline freak in my book. i can imagine the sex, i would be amazing to have one such on my shaft while the other head sucks on my balls
and for all you haters, you can suck on Dees nuts
April 13th, 2008 at 5:02 am
i believe the most humane thing to do would be to put down the one on the right because shes an ugly whore and would not be missed, she has no future except at a freak show. she should stop being selfish and die so the one on the left can live a happy successful life.
April 13th, 2008 at 5:11 am
MONSTER!!!!!!!! you two are the reason why i dont beleive in god because you two are monsters also the one on the left has a phat ass
April 15th, 2008 at 11:09 am
wow, after reading your story, i’m inspired. without a doubt i can’t say that i know what it’s like, knowing that you guys are the only ones, but thank you for making yourselves known. this is a cruel world like someone pointed out, but you two have sure figured out how to live in it! thank you for being an inspiration!
God bless!!!
He’s watching out for you and it shows!
April 15th, 2008 at 11:11 am
also, by the way kevin, that is the EXACT reason i believe there is a God! they are gifts of God, making their way in this world! monster? no way, thank you for proving to the world that you can express God’s love in many ways by just blending in! : ) : )

how would dating or marriage work if 2 guys ever took interest… i mean damn theres only one body and 2 head either 1 guy would always be having a threesome or 1 of 2 guys would always be getting sloppy seconds
May 14th, 2008 at 7:24 am
does one head control the body or is it a mutual thing ….if its one that does i guess the other is kinda like a parasite and is just catching a ride…….o.O and it would suck i guess in the mornings with morning breath….. if i was one of the heads i think i d play a trick and just always have my eyes closed and never talk and pretend to just be there but dead
May 20th, 2008 at 6:34 am
How do they pee?
And can they have kids?
It would be so awkward with your sister next to you. But i would love to meet them! They sound really brave and confident!
(Sorry for the awkward questions earlier)
May 20th, 2008 at 11:23 pm
Who controls the body? I am horrified, it must be hard. God has a purpose, but….how does one gt married? What if one of them got in trouble and is in detention? Does one girl control one arm and one controls the other? That would be hard for me.
May 20th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
I wish them both a happy life! Don;t worry, God will bring you through it. And herb…that was not nice. Your comment was unnessisary.
May 20th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
I want you two twins to be my friends! ^_^
May 23rd, 2008 at 2:38 am
omg i saw this today in science in a book and i thought t myself like what if oneof them wanted to have sex with one guy and they other one wanted to have sex with a different guy and then both of the guys came to there house nd then have sex what would it be a threesum or a foursum?
May 25th, 2008 at 4:12 am
they have 4 lungs(each has 2),they each have a heart and their large and small intestines are combined,they share a colon and they share their genitals(female parts)
so if they have sex with someone then whoever the guy is………is doing them oth at the same exact time……weird
June 1st, 2008 at 2:18 pm
Holy hell, what an abomination. That is just sickening to look at. The sort of thing people in the old days used to drown in the river when it was born. O.O
June 12th, 2008 at 10:16 am
These girls are amazing. I just watched a show about them on the Tv. They made me feel so happy about life. I was watching oprah the other day and a girl was on that was young about my age around 22 and she had stage 4 cancer. She said “life is to sweet to be bitter”! I really was taken away when I heard her say this. I was born with a cleft lip and palate and everywhere I go I get little kids saying to their parents what is wrong with that girls lip. It has became something that does not bother me that these kids say because young children are allowed to wonder. However, I have became very angry toward the parents for not saying anything to their children or teaching them manners and that everyone is different. When I watched the show I just thought about how much crap I took from kids as I grew up and thought about what these girls go through everyday. They are amazing and have such great personalities. I really believe that my family, friends and instilled personality has gotten be to where I am today. I have taken my birth defects and done a great thing from the experience. I have just graduated from nursing school and plan to work with children with defects. Everyone just needs to realize that these girls might look different but they also have feelings. Just be considerate and as for Brit and Abbey, Keep on going just be yourself and have fun, life is to short and sweet to worry about what others are thinking about you. I noticed you do not like when people take video of you and I completely understand. I have just decided that the more I show that I am comfortable with the way I look the more inspiration I can bring to others dealing with physical defects. Whatever you decide to do in the future when it comes to family, children and marriage just have fun and inspire others with your personalities!!!! I LOVE YOU GIRLS!
June 23rd, 2008 at 9:34 am
I think their parents are amazing. The fact that these young ladies are smart, intelligent and independent is a testament of their parents’ ability to raise decent people.
June 23rd, 2008 at 11:17 am
Wow, I have the same question as Marlie. I suppose which one is participating mentally in the act will know once they concieve and then will know it is their child. Although that does not take into consideration if they are both participating in the act (sex) with the same male, in which case, uh akward lol. But I believe thoes girls are extraordinary and very lucky, to even be able to survive which is rare. I think they will go far in life. They seem very nice and I think they are awesome. But girls one question…which direction to take the car..left or right? ha. just a joke. Keep on keeping on and good luck!
July 18th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
hi i read that they have 2 stomachs and one female reproductive part so if one gets pregnant which stomach will the baby go into.and would that make them both mothers being that they both have to go through the morning sicness together and the weight gain and the weird food cravings.i wish them both the luck in life that they will each be giving a healthy baby or babies.i also was wondering what if one wants to be a lezbian and the other wants to be straight.does it make the straight one a bi sexual.or wht happens when one wants to have sex but the other doesnt.but she has no say cause the other is gonna want it anyways.isnt it considered cheating if one has a boyfriend and has sex with him and the other has her boyfriend and has sex or if they share the same man isnt that still cheating cause after all they are 2 people but they share a body.
August 6th, 2008 at 9:43 am
What STOMACH will the baby go into?? Did you seriously ask that? Babies gestate in the uterus. The stomach breaks down the food we eat. They have one set of female reproductive organs, so they have one uterus.
I’m seriously worried about the future of this country.
August 26th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
Star WarsPrincess: I read that when they were kids, their mom wanted them to drink OJ for the vitamin C, but one of the girls didn’t like it…so the other did the drinking, and both of them benefited from it as they share their blood.
These girls are fascinating, and I wish them the best in their lives…plural!
September 5th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
people can be so mean. how can you call them freaks? its not their fault god made them the way the are. i think they are an inspiration! people should leave their personal life alone. whether they marry, have children, how they will have sex etc etc. is really nobodys business but their own.
September 8th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Truly the real 8th wonder of the world!
September 8th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Some of u people r the real freaks!

October 11th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Dea ANGIE,
Earlier you sated that, essentially, you wish a pox on thse who wonder what sex or masterbation would be like for them, and in it, you said that what if you had them for a kid.
Are you trying to say that haveing conjoined twins is somehow a pox to someone.
Of course these people are curious, and If I had two daughters that shared a body like them, I sure wouldn’t wonder such a question.
October 16th, 2008 at 2:55 am
I think they are amazing. Just the fact that they can actually drive. I can barely drive and I’m one person. They are amazing. So cool!!!!
October 30th, 2008 at 5:49 am
I saw the documentary on TV last night. Oh, what incredible young ladies Abby & Brittany are, and I applaud their mum & dad too. So “go girls” and live life to the full…
By the way, those sick comments above don’t even deserve a mention.
November 17th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Hey sexy’s i would would love to marry yo on top of a mountan with fresh erbs and yaz fluit
November 24th, 2008 at 8:26 am
Ok so too bad abigail and brittany WERE NOT born with 3 arms!!!!! they were born with 2 arms just like they continue to live right now!!!
November 24th, 2008 at 11:54 am
were watching this show right now and were just wondering how the fuck do you have sex???
and if you know how to answer this do you both feel it? or is just one girl sitting there while the other moans and groans
if you could answer this hit me up on da space!
November 28th, 2008 at 5:13 am
You both show all that is best in the human condition-may your God always be with you.
November 29th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
If one were to die i would assume that one would still live as they do not share a heart or circulatory system. This is very interesting and i would like to meet these two. Sorry for talking about that but i find it interesting as to how this would work.
December 5th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
You guys are amazing.please email me if you can. You guys are one of my very favorite people.You are like a idol. Please email me.It would mean the most to me. I’ve seen you on tv and I truly do think of you guys as a idol. I love how you both have two diffrent presonalitys. like I said if you can (you don’t have to)please email me.
December 19th, 2008 at 8:30 am
hey i think its amazing but who controls thier legs?, does their bladder have to be strong because it hold twice as much?,
December 29th, 2008 at 11:46 am
What is the matter with some of you people? These two wonderful young women have overcome something a lot of us couldn’t handle. They are beautiful, well adjusted.and having a good life. They did not ask to be born like this, but they were and are making a life for themselves. Shame on some of your comments.
December 31st, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Man, fuck you Kymmy-Rae, you nasty ass bitch. Go suck a moldy dick you fat fucking pig. Abby and Brittany are amazing. I have so many questions. O_o
January 4th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Okay, I’m a Special Ed teacher and , therefore, no one can judge me if I have a few questions. Why is everyone being overly sensitive and not stating the obvious. This situation is awful. How , on earth, could the girls ever have a normal love life-it’s IMPOSSIBLE. To have sex with the one is to have sex with the other. I’m not being insulting; it’s the truth. Why does no one want to admit it. They share a vagina and a bladder. Masturbating is normal, but it can’t happen in private. Sex is normal, but it wouldn’t be. This is not a healthy situition. Their necks look tired from being tilted all the time. I would have given them the surgery from day one , so that at;east one could have a normal-yes, I said it, normal life. I don’t think it’s fair to let them live life like that. I’d have spared them. This was not God’s plan. Something went wrong. The parents I feel are doing them an injustice-why? I would NEVER want to go to the bathroom with someone else and NEVER be alone. I’d spare my child . Save her or spare her. How could the show not address the moral dillemma or the intimacy dilemma and call itself complete. These parents are not fair.

………… who has the baby
January 13th, 2009 at 11:32 pm
you girls are beautiful ; )
January 13th, 2009 at 11:39 pm
oh and lynn, as a teacher you should be smarter than that, you are the one whos not normal, you are a close minded jerk who needs to mind her own business and take care of yourself and not worry about other people and how they live thier lives, and yes someone can judge you, his name is God, and he doesnt care if you’re a special ed teacher, he will judge you anyways on the day you die, just because you’re a special ed teacher…doesnt make you special
January 19th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
Off subject a bit…but I keep seeing all these hostile posts about Kymmy-rae saying “freaks!” (way back at the top) and getting railed for it. I his(or her) possible defense, a post or two about his (hers?) someone naked Nikki posted a message about how the twins masturbate. My first reaction whenI read Kymmy’s “Freaks!” post was he/her was referring to those asking about masturbating, etc. as the “freaks”, and was NOT referring to Abigail & Brittney.
Is this possible? I notice Kymmy hasn’t posted any replies to the flames toward him/her and I just wonder if maybe he/she didn’t mean it liek everyone took it. Just a thought.
January 19th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
Hi ladies I don’t know much about you I just saw the add on aim and thought it was intersting. That’s cool how you guys still live a normal life. I have Cerebral Palsy and live life to the normal well to my best morbility. that’s cool how you guys don’t let anyone get you down. Keep it up.

What will you guys do later in life when one wants to have sexual intercourse and the other doesn’t ? And will u both feel it or just one of you?
January 22nd, 2009 at 10:45 am
What do you guys do if one wants to have sex and the other doesn’t ? What do u do ? And who feels it?
January 27th, 2009 at 4:32 am
These two girls went to my highschool and are from my home town. I am honestly disgusted by some of the things people think and say. MIchelle wonders what their sex is like…why? They don’t care about what sex is like with you and I really think when talking about these young girls you need to remember that they are just regular girls, regular people inside and might read this stuff. Be a mature adult, please.
January 27th, 2009 at 9:46 am
I watched the TLC documentary when they turned 16, and when they were younger on Dateline NBC. They are truly amazing, beautiful girls, the coolest personalities and fun-loving teenagers. They would be easy to fall in love with after you got to know them. I don’t see any problem with them finding a soulmate that loves them both for who they are. I wish them all the best in this world, and a long & happy life! Good luck in college girls!
February 4th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
Well i dnt think it freaky at all.I’m pretty sure its not so hard at what they do.hmmmmmmmmmmmm……..seeems ike fun to me.hey i would love to have a win nex to me.well i jus think its really cool of what youre doing with their lives.
February 18th, 2009 at 1:29 pm
I think these two girls are extraordinary. They have learned to do something out of necessity that most of us find impossible. Get along with another person 24/7. I believe if they can make it through adolescence, one of the most trying times of our lives, nothing will stop them in the future. I look forward to the great things they will do.
February 19th, 2009 at 8:32 am
These two young ladies are in for the challenge of their life . And I believe
God is testing US , how to handle this situation in our daily lives.
This is some one’s life we’re all talking about here.
So, they’re not perfect. Are we ? We have faults that God can see .
Let’s support them thru their life .
peace & love
February 19th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
What happens if one of them commits a crime that would be punished with jail?
Are they “both” put in jail?
What happens if one of them wants to commit suicide and tries it. Is this a crime against the other one?
February 21st, 2009 at 4:11 pm
Hello Ladies,
Just wanted to wish you two well and god bless you both for all your courage and well being. Oh and by the way I am from Minnesota also. Stay warm ladies, your friend from Rochester, Patrick
March 2nd, 2009 at 12:05 pm
I am jsut wanting to say,.
I think these girls are amazing.
They are most strong willed.
How do they like the boys oppoiste. and how do they have sex?
March 3rd, 2009 at 5:30 am
I saw the girls on a documentary last night. They are such strong beautiful girls and I think it is great that they really don’t seem to let the “idiots” of the world ( like the guy that was trying to take their picture without even asking them) get to them. I am sure it isn’t as easy as they try to make it look and that only makes them more admirable. I wish them luck in their future. They didn’t ask to be born conjoined any more than Kimmy asked to be born a moron.
March 4th, 2009 at 3:56 am
i just watched the thing when they turn 16. this just is astounding to me. it’s amazing how they are so happy and okay with who they are .. we could all learn a lesson from them. but i still have SO many questions.. how do they have sex? or ger married? it’s just insane to me. it BLOWS my mind.
March 21st, 2009 at 6:46 am
I think these girls are absoulutly PERFECT. Some of you worry about the sex issues. WHY THE HELL DO YOU CARE! Its not your life.! These girls are just like anyone else. The only difference is their headds are conjointed. Like I said… So what? I would LOVE to meet these beautiful girls!
March 21st, 2009 at 1:28 pm
What if one wants to become a nun? And the other has a boyfriend??!!! WHAT THEN!?!?
March 21st, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Wow what a bunch of malinformed wierdos. These girls are NOT like anybody else. What kind of surgery would have given on of them a “normal” life?? Put the second head in a jar? You’ve been watching too much Adult Swim!
They are two girls, now women, who must live in the same space for the rest of their adult lives. Now, it has been a beautiful and miraculous thing so far to see them grow up as children, to see how they coped with everyday things like eating and sleeping and doing homework, but now they are becoming ADULTS.
So we can do one of two things, either give them their privacy and mind own businesses, or we can ask the questions we’re curious about. They conjoined at the bottom of the spine, or in other words the HIP. And if you’re curious about conjoined twin anatomy that will lead to the questions about sex, childbirthing, and their ability to feel sensations on “shared” body parts.
If they don’t want to share, fine, but I think they’re old enough to handle simple questions like that. It’s not perversion, just anatomical curiosity.
March 23rd, 2009 at 6:45 am
I think that anyone who would pry into their private lives is horrible. I am a few years younger then them, having been born in September of 1990 and if someone was online discussing my love life i would be mad. Let them be the wonderful human beings that I am sure they are. God created them exactly the way they are and loves them. You all should look deep inside yourselves before you criticise their parents or make ignorant comments about their personal lives. You girls are an inspiration to me.
March 28th, 2009 at 11:58 pm
the kimmy person who said these girls are freaks needs to grow up, how dare you! these girls to me are inspiring, i wish these girls the best of luck in their lives, i would also be honored to be their friend or even meet them for that matter, thats amazing that they can live the way they do and be completely content, good luck to you girls, much love from Florida!
April 16th, 2009 at 7:02 am
i would totally do them
April 21st, 2009 at 12:17 pm
To the people leaving rude/sick comments, why do you bother? No one wants to read that stuff and I’m sure Abbey and Brittnay are mature enough that they wouldn’t take any notice either, so grow up. They seemed like really lovely girls and they shouldn’t have to suffer dickheads like you.
May 4th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
Man the girls are so cool. so amazingly coordinated. can you imagine walking if you had no sensation of the other foot coming up or going down. Intense!! there are so many cool things to ponder about their life. hah hah i guess it says something about my lifestyle that the only thing that interests me enough to ask is…how would booze work? like if one gets drunk…are they both drunk? i cant remember if the program said they had seperate livers. like they are 19 now, so i guess in the ole US of A its not a thing they have to worry about really but if they ever came up here to ole Canada then they would be legal age. ahhh well best o luck in all your endeavours ladies. cheers

Just from the same questions that’re being asked but not answered.. I’m guessing, as they share their female organs, they’ll both feel orgasms at the same time. Just how I’ve gathered they both feel their legs, but can choose who controls it, I think.
Essentially though, yes, masturbating and having sex with a guy will probably have to occur with the other one being aware, and possibly feeling it too. However, while this would obviously be very awkward for us, maybe for them, like they’ve grown up with everything else, it’ll just be ‘normal’ to them. It’ll have to be anyway.

I think you’re all morons. It’s a perfectly legitimate question to wonder how they masturbate and have sex. Everyone else is wondering so shut your pie holes you stupid people who want to just stifle questions because that’s how wars get started, opression and marginalization instead of answers to curiosity. Maybe the other one does know. Maybe the other one doesn’t. Who knows. They can feel stuff they share a pelvis. What I’m wondering is how they plan to have two SEPARATE relationships and get married to two SEPARATE men and both be mothers and have babies and lead normal lives when they share a reproductive system, a bed, and a body. How do they do tests in school? How do they ride a bike? How does Abigail sleep if Britney wants to read?
