Siamese twins or conjoined twinsbare a type of monozygotic twins whose bodoes are joined. They may share skin and tissue, or may even develop with shared organs and limbs. They are very rare occuring only 1 out of 200,000 live births. There are no clearly identified reasons to explain why some fertilized eggs split developing into two individuals.
