Sorry that you’re so very deeply confused. You are not in charge of why other people dislike anything. They might dislike the later outcomes for the boys (not shown here), the mention of God and the mother’s fatalism, or anything.

[@momster64]

It's fascinating that the doctors are able to do the separation process in stages instead of all in one big surgery.

[@amandarios448]

You can only lose so much blood & you only have so much skin. There's also a limited potential to recover from the procedure itself that's why sometimes you need repeated surgeries in case you were wondering

How was she ever pregnant like that

[@lupe004]

Victor Ximenes she obviously means the way that they are, their personalities because there is so much more to them than just being conjoined, plus she says that they are perfect and normal because they are her children and in their own way they are normal, plus there is the unknown and fear of what would happen when they are seperated, its wanting to keep them as they are in order to not have anything bad happen to them
