It looks more like one person with two heads. What does Dr. Asare mean by "fulfilling life"? If we can't do anything about it, that's okay but I disagree with the "fulfilling life" part.

why waste time on doctors when the man of God prophet Tb Joshua can seperate this babies miraculously. God can do all things through prophet TB Joshua. Please, please, take the babies to SCOAN.

My brother.the so called prophets are not prophets .It's just names people confer on themselves,They all shall stand before the Almighty Allah on the D-Day.Creation is made by God,sometimes as a test to mankind.The only thing we have to do is to pray for the little mother and her babies to have love and care and accept their fate.If they cannot be separated surgically by doctors.Dont be fooled by their tricks.Render all to the Almighty God,My best wishes to the family let us all help those who need help especially in a situation such as this

I agree with you. I am tired of all these fake "prophets" giving Christianity a bad name.

Stop this primitive nonsense and start to educate yourself. Ghanaians are ignorant and backward people living without water, electricity and toilets.
How can they understand anything outside their own villages ?

Only fools listen to them. If they claim they are prophets, they should not even have to worry about money. They will conjure money and be fabulously rich. And yet, they are looking for ways to get rich... Irony right?

If she is 16 its most likely she got pregnant at 15years and that amounts to difilements in our laws.The right authorities must step in here and punish the man who did this if guilty plus support both babies and mother

You are right. Perhaps they can toss a coin and whoever loses will simply shut up while the other makes all the decisions. Otherwise, they are worse off either way.

Is the mother not too young to be having children. It will be great if FIDA could investigate who impregnated the poor girl. Trust me this mother is going to need a lot of help and I hope she has the family support.

Yes, they can live just as they are. Two conjoined twins were shown on British TV last week.
They've gone through life and graduated at the University in the U.S. They are over 21 years old; eat together in one plate having same stomach, do everything as one normal person, wear same one outfit, think as one. Drive a car as one person.
The only thing that surprised me was that they had two American Passports with different first names, whilst they are travelling all over Europe on one seat with one air ticket.
They are one and an inseparable being. Let well wishers take ever and let them live.

Ghana people are so headstrong. the doctors killed the last twins, so why dont we try Jesus. Prophet Joshua has performed more wonderful miracles. he can seperate these twins.

Their life in Ghana would not be worth living honestly. Its sad and heartbreaking but I wouldn't want them to go through a life in Ghana in this state.

Your goal now should be saving only one of them and not both. Give all the major organs to one of them and let go the second one. Will it be possible for the Country to seek for assistance from some developed country?

Queen, I could not agree with you more. If you have a choice between two evils, the only sensible thing to do is to vouch for the lesser evil. Between the evil of letting them live to suffer through life and the evil of killing both of them, the middle belt lies in "see one of them off" and give the organs to the other to move on.

Thanks.

I was utterly surprised at the utterance by Dr Asare yesterday.
What's the pretext of Dr Asare. If we do not have the facilities,those twins ought to be flown outside,to a well equipped children hospital for a thorough medical evaluation,to ascertain if surgery is possible. Drs s omewhere may be able to reconstruct the bodies to give one of them the chance to live(a suggestion).Therefore,Dr could express his qualms by advising the parents of thosetwins to apply to the president of the republic

to benefit from overseas health care funds, enjoyed by the leaders and the top notches in govt.
Our hospitals should have Research & Developement dept. We cannot improve on our performances if we do not recognize the need for this essential dept in our establishment.
For instance,how did the first,second,and third conjoined died.
what was the cause of death. was it due to an
unexpected complications,was it lack of a particular medical expert at the time ? etc etc.
Its only through research & development that, we can correct those concerns raised above to become world renowned in our fields.
To be continued.
