Born Together: The Story of Conjoined Twins by Michael L Cox

Born Together: The Story of Conjoined Twins by Michael L Cox

Born Together explores the fascinating and rare phenomenon of conjoined twins in both humans and animals. Have you ever wondered if conjoined twins could be diagnosed before birth, or just how, in fact, they are born? Do you know where you can visit conjoined animals in the UK? There are also the complex ethical issues involved in treating and caring for conjoined twins and this poses the question of whether it would be justified to sacrifice the life of one to save the other? Born Together reviews many questions like these with examples from history. With accessible language and illustrations, this book is ideally written for those interested in popular science and psychology.

Michael L Cox was born and raised in Bristol and went on to qualify as a doctor at the University of Bristol. He met his wife as a medical student, and they went on to work at mission hospitals in Nigeria for seven years, which included the year of Nigerian Independence (1960). He eventually returned to England to specialise in obstetrics and gynaecology.
