Canadian Conjoined Twins Born Today!I am fascinated with conjoined twins. I stumbled upon news about
these new Canadian twins today. A young B.C. woman from Vernon has
successfully given birth to conjoined twin girls via caesarean
section a day before the risky procedure was scheduled to be performed.
Felicia Simms, 21, delivered the girls shortly before noon local time
Wednesday at the B.C. Women's Hospital and Health Centre. As many as
17 doctors and medical personnel were in the operating room for the
birth.
The girls, who are joined at the back of the head, had been given
about a 20 per cent chance of being born alive. Welcome to the world
Krista and Tati.
