Thursday July 16, 2009

Doctor James E Stein (C), a general pediatric surgeon from the U.S., smiles beside Jamuna and Ganga, 40-year-old conjoined twins at Mercy Hospital in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata June 6, 2009. It is medically possible to separate the rarest conjoined twins, but they are happy with their status and any operation to separate them would cost nearly a quarter of a million dollars, Stein said on Saturday.
