Conjoined twins

As I was reading about conjoined twins it made me think about how rare it used to be to see anything about conjoined twins. It seems like conjoined twins are becoming a new thing that people want to talk about and watch and learn about how they do everything. Conjoined twins have been making appearances on medical tv shows, reality tv shows and even one on an old children's tv show. Why is it that all of a sudden conjoined twins are being looked at under this microscope?

  1. Do you think its become more of turn-around since some of the older times? We learned about twins that were displayed at freaks, or freak-like. Maybe instead of judging them as they appear people are more interested in how they function, perhaps socially and biologically? To me, it seems like a medical miracle for two hearts pumping the same blood, using the same limbs, two brains, two souls. It just seems so complex. I would also be intrigued to know how it all works. Either way the human body is quite a specimen.
