Photos: Australian Mum Gives Birth To Miracle Conjoined Twins With 2 Brains And One Body

A very rare condition has resulted in woman giving birth to miracle conjoined twins with two brains in the same skull. The baby appears to have to faces, attached to one neck and body.

Renee Young had been advised to terminate the pregnancy by doctors in Australia ‘because it would be looked upon by the public as a freak’.
 
But she defied the doctors because Ms Young had never terminated a pregnancy and because they had a family 'that gives us a lot of support'.
 
Now she and partner Simon Howie, from Sydney, have now welcomed the astonishing little girls – six weeks early.

And they've been given appropriate names – Faith and Hope.

The girls are the result of a rare condition known as disrosopus, where a baby is born with two faces.
