Siamese twins with one body and two heads were born in Indonesia on July 24. According to doctors, it was impossible to separate the babies: the boys have two hearts, but all other vital organs are common.
The 33-year-old father said he was against the operation to separate the twins. " I can't believe it, but what can I do? This is the will of God, and we will accept our children as they are," said the young dad.
This is the first birth of a twin-head baby in Indonesia.
The weight of Siamese twins is 3 kilograms 200 grams. Initially, newborns had little chance of survival. Their breathing was supported by a special machine. “If the twins have weak hearts, there is nothing we can do to help. They will be able to live for about a month,”said the attending pediatrician, Dr. Tubagus.
However, doctors did their best to save the babies. Unfortunately, all efforts were in vain. Dozens of people came to the hospital, which is located a thousand kilometers west of the Indonesian capital Jakarta. They all prayed for the life of the twins.
