When I first saw pictures of the Hensel Twins in Life Magazine, it was love at first sight. Abigail& Brittany Hensel are classified as dicephalic conjoined twins, a very rare type. Even though they are "identical" and they must share the same pair of legs for life, these active young girls are individuals with their own opinions, tastes, & personalities. This page is dedicated to them, a most unusual pair of young ladies! | |||||||||||||||||||||||

*** Hensel Twins Facts *** The twins live on a big farm somewhere in the midwest of the USA. They have four dogs & a cat named Figaro. They are the children of Debby (ER nurse) & Mike Hensel (carpenter/landscaper) and have a brother, DaKota ("Koty) and a sister, Morgan. Their birthday is March 7, 1990 (double-fish sign of Pisces) How rare are they? Conjoined twins occur once in 1/50,000 births; only 500 sets of conjoined twins have survived their first year. Only 4 sets of conjoined twins who share an undivided torso & two legs have survived. The twins each have a heart and stomach, but they share 3 lungs & the organs in the lower part of their body. Britty controls the left side & Abby the right, but they run, swim & ride a bike. The twins seem to be able to occasionally read each other's thoughts. They attend Lutheran school, and attend church every Sunday. They take piano lessons, Britty playing the left hand part & Abby playing the right hand part (but they like different songs.) |
