Don't take this as me trivializing what's happening with these girls, but... When did this condition become "conjoined twins" instead of "Siamese twins"??

The term "conjoined" is a medical term that is much a more accurate description of the condition. This was changed years before the PC crowd took over. I am NOT a PC advocate, but I do prefer this term over "Siamese".

Thanks.

I never really heard it mentioned until a few years ago.
It's a legitimate question, I think... thanks for not flaming me.
