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

Lori and George Schappell, the world’s oldest living conjoined twins, passed away at the age of 62 in Pennsylvania. Born in 1961, they were joined at the skull with separate bodies, sharing 30% of their brain and essential blood vessels. George had spina bifida and identified as male, making them the first same-sex conjoined twins to do so. Despite living conjoined, they led independent lives, pursuing individual hobbies and interests. The twins rejected the idea of separation and lived on their own, emphasizing their ability to have privacy and autonomy despite their unique condition.
