Heartbreaking images show conjoined twins sharing a KISS but doctors say they are 'unlikely to survive'


The boys, who were born in Mumbai, India, last week, were delivered by Caesarean section. A CT and MRI scan revealed only one of the newborns has lungs. 


While experts at the hospital have delivered several conjoined twins in the past, these are unusual as they share one heart and neck - making it harder to separate them. 'Overall, rarely 5-25 per cent of these babies survive. This type of case rarely survives surgery, and without surgery no baby survives,' Dr Suleiman Merchant, said.
