I was thinking about it myself, when I read the link. I think the problem is, that you know you might lose one or both babies. It's always a huge risk. Often, they are safer together- it's just society finds it hard.
There are a lot of examples, I might need to look up actually... but Abbey and Brittany Henson for one. Would not have survived a separation, but seem perfectly well together. And lots of others separated, where one or both have died.

Caran - // I found it very unsettling to see the adult twins still joined. Surely they cannot have a normalish life? //
As I said in my previous post, what you have always known from birth is what counts as 'normal' for you - that goes for conjoined twins.
People adapt to their circumstances - it feels strange to us, but obviously not to them.
