The story of the Hensel twins
The story of the dissected Siamese twins Abby and Brittany shocked America in 1990. From birth the twins have in common a body with two legs and two arms, while most of the organs – enclosed in a larger than normal ribcage – are double (heart, stomach, spinal column, lungs and liver) as well as having two heads. As told by Abby and Brittany, each controls an arm and a leg and over the years they have learned to coordinate their movements to have a life as normal as possible. Josh Bowling entered this search for normality and, after an engagement that lasted a few years, decided to marry Abby and Brittany, even though legally the man is only married to Abby. The twins have kept the wedding secret for a long time. “The whole world doesn’t need to know who we’re dating or what we’re going to do and all that“, the Hensel twins justified themselves, sharing a few but significant photos of the ceremony on social media.
