The Girl with two Heads
Posted on 24. Apr, 2007 by Alicia in Weird
They are absolutely amazing twins, if you ask me. I am really impressed! They share numerous bodily organs as a result of an extremely rare case. Wondering how they cope with the public eyes and being focus of the community and doctors. I am truly admire their courage.
Abigail “Abby” Loraine Hensel and Brittany “Britty” Lee Hensel (born 7 March 1990, Carver County, Minnesota, United States), are dicephalic conjoined twins. Brittany is the left twin, and Abigail is the right twin. They have two spines which join at the pelvis. They have two stomachs, three lungs, and two arms. (A third, underdeveloped and useless arm between their heads was amputated in infancy.)
Do the girls have to wear a brace to support their spines? I noticed in watching their videos there appears to be a bump down by the small of their back. I thought it might be a brace as I know they had surgery for scoliosis when they were twelve .
Who feels what from the waist down?
Like, is it split 50/50 down the middle? Or shared?
From what I’ve read, each feels on only on her side.
It’s two people sharing a body, not one person with two heads. But apparently the nerves to each girl’s brain grow on her side only.
So… did they graduate this year, then? Congratulations, if so~!
This is how to determine between the nuture verses nature thing the psychologists have been arguing about for so long.
If it’s nuture, then they’d have exactly the same personality as they had to experience the same things.
If it’s nature, or a mixture of the two, then they’d have different personalities.
I am wondering how these two lovely girls are doing? I am so proud of the incredible courage these two possess. Not to mention the job these two parents have done. They seem to lead a “normal” (whatever that means) lives. Kudos to mom and dad. Kudos to the girls! I am not sure how old they are. I am interested in each girls personality and how they deal with that. Each girl has her own personality and desires. How do they comprimise? Wow, gives a whole new meaning to “kids getting along”. I am a personality person, and that is where my interest lies. Girls, you two have to be the bravest people I have ever hear of. You deserve the best life has to offer. keep up the good work. Love and Peace
I saw the girls amazing story on cable. The most amazing thing is they each control their side of the body (one arm – one leg) How the manage to walk, ride a bike and drive a car is beyond me. They each have a distinct and different personality. They are truely remarkable young women. I wish them all the best for their future.
These are truly remarkable teens. From what I saw, they get along much better than my girls do!! And to be able to play softball & do everything else they do. Wow. I am very humbled & quite impressed. Good job, family !!
AAAHHHHH!!!!! That is so freaking disgusting. There are already far too many people in the world, we should have knocked off these/that freak while they/it was still in the womb.
I wonder how they deal with masturbation.
Nice one Tim, Hope you get hit by a car real soon.
Michy, probably same way you do, but maybe not as often!
The world is a richer place with these two people.
i feel god put the two of u here for a reason so live life to the fullest …u girls are beautiful……..i well kick milchy ass!!
Tim, your mother should have done us all a big favor and knocked you off while you were still in the womb. Or at least instilled you with some manners. Off the topic of Tim’s family’s lousy parenting skills, I agree with Gauguin, and Milchy you are just sick. Do us all a favor and never have children.
They are bothe truly remarcable girls. Though I have to ask, if they have 2 hearts what would happen if one twin died before the other one did?
gosh…what can you say …we go through life think sometimes how hard we have got things then you see and read about these lovely young women…i know really very little about them ..but like another comment made i feel humbled and slightly ashamed that at times i feel sorry for myself …good luck little angels…
hi how are u ?
i feel verry happy for you two to be good sisters even tho you are stuck together
Tim. you are a dipshit.
you should be on this blog: MAN BORN WITH ATOM-SIZED PENIS. But dont worry i’m sure milchy (small minded atempt at a witty name) could help you to masturbate it.
i wonder what their relationship is like
I admire these girls and wish them the best.
Idiot Tim will have a burden to bear someday. Karma….what goes around comes around.
This is wonderful and amazing.
I love to know more about them and how they are coping.
I was in minnesota this weekend and was at dinner and noticed a girl with two heads at a restaurant and was intrigued. I started to do some research and low and behold the first website i came to was this one and this was the girl at the restaurant.
I just wanted to say you girls are amazing and really pretty. Also I want to know how the hell do you handle relationships.
i saw u guys in ocean city staying at castle in the sand
is that a siamese twins???
-philippines
hey im sure you guys feel weird but your not weird thats just life you know what they say two heads are better then one
hey my name is kimmy and what i wanna know is how do you guys get boyfreinds or is their a guy with two heads
Kimmy,
do us all a favor and go play in traffic.
Hey my name’s Yashira..and I’m wishing for the best…it’s truly amazing what these girls have coped with in sharing only one body and how much it must impact there daily lives…they are truly special…God Bless them… =] and I agree Tim is an idiot…. =/
hi you guys i feel so sorry for you you both are two pretty girls and having your head stuck together must make it hard on you but god made you two like that because he did not what any one to be the same but yourr really pretty you should go on brttans next top moddle so keep on working that attitude.
i wonder when they were in high school if they cheated on each other exams haha cause that would be mad and they are every pretty girls and i see that loads of people love them

They could have a huge porno career
i would pay for it
Your special to your family and to God who cares what people think,God Bless you both. I hope you two live a long and happy life! Dave
Hey Abby and Britty,
Just wanted to say that you are soooo cool! God made you the way you are, and you are beautiful!!
P.S. – if possible, please write back
Love,
Caroline and Katie
YOULL MAKE ME HAPPY AND IM RIGHTING A PAPER ON YOU.
YOUR GREAT.
girls, u r good example for us. some time i bash my head when i am in problem, and how nice u two go together!!!
gr8 going. rock on. its really amazing to see how cool u guys are. and never mind silly comments of these waste condom products who questions ur sexual behaviour. they r freeks, and efinitely there parents never relayy planned for them either before or after birth.
u r g8. keep going. and i believe god will grant u the best life u can ever imagine.
ive seen you at the e.p. mall i ate lunch next to you. two heads has got to be pretty crazy
hey. u guys have done great with ur lives. u both are destined to be remembered in history because of your actions, not of the way you are. keep going.
Gives new meaning to the term 3 some! I wonder if they cum together!
On ne devrait pas commenter sur la création de Dieu.
We should’not add any comments on God’s creature.
I think these girls are great.
But I have to ask if they have two hearts and two lungs does that mean that they potentially could run faster and longer than any other human, if they train that is?
Or what about putting them on a bike I bet they could pedal fast. Think about it two sets of lungs, twice as much oxygen in the blood going to one set of legs.
Nope wait a moment I forgot there are two brains involved too.
That might mean that they might suffer certain types of pain more. Which might cause their athletic performance to suffer.
I wonder if any body has been born with 3 heads?
sorry I am staying up a bit too late to be thinking about this.
I wish you well girls,
Gosh there are some sick freaks out there writing pathetic comments on here. All the best to you girls and dont worry about some of the sickos, like Vanessa said they should go play in the traffic!
I don’t think it’s sick that Milchy asked how they masturbate. It’s a perfectly legitimate question, considering they each ARE normal people with their own sexuality and distinct identities… yet they share one sexual organ. It is, in fact, a very interesting and not “perverted” question at all.
I also wonder, now that they are interested in getting married, how the sexuality would work if they are each going to marry a separate person.
They are so incredibly brave for not just that but for everything. Blessings to both of you.
I would think they are legally 2 people with 2 social security numbers. If so, does this mean they get 2 paychecks for doing 1 job? If not, they should just quit and then collect 2 unemployment checks.
Hello. And Bye.
Abigail and Brittany ~ God bless you dear ones. You have no idea how you’ve touched my life. I encountered your lively, loving, laughing presence in Roseville last evening and my life will never be the same. You excuded such joy and exuberance, while completely ignoring the rude stares of people who encountered you (Target store shoppers). Your ability to take what life handed you and rise above that is an inspiration to us all ~ especially us jaded adults who think we’ve “seen it all”. Thank you, and God bless!!
you are both wonderfull girls. may God continue to guide and protect you. Hey you guys almost separated. You should have spent more time in your mother’s womb. Try to pray for me as I will do for you.
Hei Abby n Britty
I love u, u both r beautiful!
‘Deus e criador do mundo e da terra’. So, “Deus” can create everything.
Again I love u both
