Abstract
In June 1993, conjoined twin Amy and Angela Lakeberg became the focus of national attention. They shared a complex six-chambered heart and one liver; only one could survive separation surgery; and even her chances were slim. The medical challenge was great and the ethical challenges were even greater.Keywords: Analytical Approach; Children's Hospital of Philadelphia; Death and Euthanasia; Health Care and Public Health; Lakeberg twins; Loyola University Medical Center (Maywood, IL); Professional Patient Relationship
