"World's Oldest Conjoined Twins Lori and George Schappell Pass Away at 62"

Lori and George Schappell, the world's oldest conjoined twins, passed away at the age of 62. Born with partially fused skulls and sharing vital blood vessels and 30% of their brains, they defied doctors' predictions and lived independent lives, pursuing successful careers in music, acting, and sports. The twins refused to undergo separation surgery and maintained that they were not limited by their conjoined status. In contrast, Abby and Brittany Hensel, another set of conjoined twins, have led a private but fulfilling life, becoming teachers and maintaining their privacy after a reality TV series about their lives aired in 2012.
