      😥. How horribly sad. I cannot imagine losing a precious child. I had a miscarriage in 1990, I didn’t think that I would ever get over losing my baby. I got pregnant for my daughter then I almost lost her. I would have lost my mind had I lost her. I feel so bad for anyone who has lost a baby or even grown children. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy. I hope who ever has lost a baby or son/Daughter that they have a great support system and they can heal from that horrible tragedy.

    Two brave young women made the ultimate sacrifice, which enabled doctors to learn more about these types of surgery so that one day another set of siblings in a similar predicament may be saved. They got their wish to be separated. And I'm sure even after death they do not regret their decision. Kudos also to the brave doctor willing to perform this surgery amidst possible backlash.

In the west our lives are blessed with technology and good health care and for which I am forever grateful but these women reached out to us from an undeveloped country and fought for their lives and although they were unsuccessful and this is so sad I'm sure that what was learnt by the awesome medical staff will help other people who faced with this awful challenge in their lives.

I ran home to learn what happened. I expected good news, but my parents told me they had died. I was and I still am very sad for them. Incredible, brave young women, may they rest in peace.

I’ll have to go back and watch the last half or less to find that out. I worked as a RN for many years until my health because too much of an issue, so I am thinking extreme blood loss would be the most likely culprit.

    The government and people of of Singapore are to be commended for their generosity and humanity, and the medical team are above all truly magnificent human beings. They did everything following strict protocol and ethics, and as with any surgery, even minor procedures, there is the risk of serious complications and death. This medical team's work is to be applauded for the attention to detail they instigated before tackling surgery. There was no other choice for these girls to make, and they had to take the chance. Even if they had been born in a so-called developed country, surgery would have failed even if it had been attempted early in their lives. Theirs was a tragic medical condition that had no surgical solution. These girls taught humanity as a whole by their resilience and grace living with their situation, and that is the amazing legacy they left.

      You don’t know that if they lived in a country in the U.S that the same outcome would have happened. Most opera😢toons on 4-5 year old twins are successful and theirs would also probably have been successful if it was done at an early age. I have seen young and completed conjoined Siamese twin cases like this and they normally come out alive. They only died most likely because it was done when they were 29 instead of 4 years old.

      However, ​​⁠Singapore is one of the leading medical pioneers in the world. In many ways, they are more advanced in procedures & equipment than the US.
      Some of our own doctors go there to learn these techniques & advancements. If you walked into their hospitals, you would be truly amazed at those advancements, as well as how they treat their patients there. They actually put care in Healthcare.

    I remember seeing this way back when it was originally broadcast, when I was just a kid. It has always stayed with me. RIP Laleh and Ladan.

    Those poor sweet girls. Such was their dream to be two separate and independant human beings that they risked their lives. Those surgeons were amazing and did everything possible for them but sadly it was not enough to save them. I cried so much for these girls and my only comfort is they finally became two on their journey to the next world

    Aw, they were so pretty, seemed like such nice girls. I remember reading about this story long ago, still makes me sad that the surgery didn't work out for them. Their good sense of humor is still very inspiring :)

    I expected the outcome but hoped I was wrong. The whole show felt like a eulogy. If there is something after, I hope that they are happy.

    At the end right when I saw the coffin, mind you I'm crying, I thought they would have been happy seeing themselves as 2 different people with 2 separate bodies. God bless them and may they rest in peace

    I think the craziest part of this story is that the twins were actually kidnapped. I get it, they were trying to give them medical help, and they were taken in by a rich guy who gave them a better life. But still, they could at least explain that to the twins' parents. Instead they just took them away. They're children, not a science project.
