Hope For Siamese Twin Separation
George and Tony may soon be separated thanks to recent advances in nanosurgery
Washington, D.C (JP) - Born joined at the head, Siamese twins George and Tony may soon be separated thanks to recent advances in nanosurgery. Doctors Kettering and Brownose, buoyed by success in similar
operations on monkeys, believe that there's clearly a "good chance" that the operation will be a success - even though there's a 10% chance that one or both of the men won't survive.   Forced to do everything together ever since birth, Kettering stated that "these two men are a living nightmare - they have no quality of life, and they're having catastrophic effects on their environment." Further complications are expected, however, since George has no heart, while Tony seems to have no balls. But according to Brownose, these are not insurmountable obstacles. "If these were normal people, I think that I would be quite concerned," Brownose told joe-ks.com. "However, with politicians, this is very seldom an issue." With only one spine, it's no wonder their constituents call them 'spineless' - but we're not sure which one they're referring to.  The operation is planned for the end of 2004 if the twins decide to go ahead with the separation. If successful, one will be shorter than the other.  If the operation is not successful, they'll soon be separated by their own polls...
