The World’s Oldest Conjoined Twins

2024 also saw the passing of the world’s oldest conjoined twins, who lived to the age of 62. Born joined at the chest, their lives were a testament to resilience and the human spirit’s capacity to adapt to extraordinary circumstances. The twins shared vital organs and were advised against separation due to the high risk associated with the procedure.

Instead, they chose to live their lives conjoined, becoming advocates for disability rights and public speakers. They traveled the world sharing their life stories, inspiring others with their unwavering determination to live fully despite their unique challenges. Their death marks the end of an era for conjoined twins and highlights the advances in medical science and the changing perceptions of disabilities they helped foster during their remarkable lives.
