My Reaction:

Image that if you have a twin sibling. You can do a lot of things together such as playing games, doing homework, and sharing everything what you have. However, if your twin sibling has shared a body with you, what kind of things would happen? In England, a young couple that the wife is only 18 year-old gave birth to their twin babies, Hope and Faith. Nevertheless, they were joined the same body from breastbone to the top of the navel and had a shared liver but separate hearts.

Actually, Hope was died because she was not strong enough to bear the operation, but she tried her best to keep her life continuing. Although Faith is still alive, she has to overcome many unknown challenges. Once, I have read something interesting about the twins that almost twins have metapsychosis. They will even be affected if the other one was dead. As a result, I think Faith perhaps can feel that she has lose something in her life but she will never know if her parents don’t tell her.

Another interesting phenomenon is that the mother of them is in a really young age. It indicates that the more and more adolescents have tried to sex when both their mental and body are not mature enough. I think one of the reasons is because of the opening social atmosphere. Maybe you will be teased because you haven’t had any sex experience in that age. Another one is that it is much more convenient and easier to get sex knowledge such as from the Internet and mass media. We have to be serious to the issue or it will definitely cause numerous social problems in the future. In summary, we have to think again and again before doing everything and don’t be control by our impulses. (304 words)
