Re A (conjoined twins)
Re A (conjoined twins) [2001] 2 WLR 480 is a Court of Appeal decision on the separation of conjoined twins. The case raised several legal, ethical and religious dilemmas including whether it would be permissible to kill one of the children to save the other, and whether it was permissible to act against the wishes of the twins' parents.
Gracie and Rosie Attard, who were born on 8 August 2000, were conjoined twins who were joined at the abdomen. During legal proceedings, the twins were given the public pseudonyms Jodie and Mary, respectively. The medical evidence indicated that Gracie was the stronger sibling who was sustaining the life of Rosie. Rosie had only survived birth due to a shared common artery that enabled her sister Gracie to oxygenate blood for both twins. If surgically separated Gracie had a 94% survival rate but Rosie was guaranteed to die. However if they were left conjoined then Gracie's health, which was already rapidly deteriorating, was predicted to fail before they were six months old. Gracie's death would inevitably result in Rosie's.
