		Reba, who has spina bifida, is 10 centimetres shorter than Lori, so her sister wheels her around on an adaptive wheeled stool.
		Reba went along for six years while Lori worked full-time in a hospital laundry, a job she gave up in 1996 so Reba could launch a country-music career.
		Separation would be a risk for the Schappells, who are attached at the left side of each of their skulls and share bone, blood vessels and tissue near their brains.

		And yet there are conjoined twins who choose not to be separated, who find comfort in an intimacy more strict than most of us could imagine.
		For example, the 41-year-old Lori and Reba Schappell, of Reading, Pennsylvania, say they would not trade their entwined lives for anything, though they, too, are attached at the skull.
		Reba, a sufferer of spina bifida, is four inches shorter than Lori, who wheels her sister around on a custom-made rolling stool.

		In my scenario, one of the female conjoined twins is the dominant one, as in the case of Reba and Lori Schappell.
		For the sake of the argument, let's imagine that as one twin was committing the crime, the other was "sleeping", which according to Lori and Reba, they usually do when one is engaging in an activity that doesn't interest or involve the other.
		For example, when the smaller twin, Reba, practices her country singing, the larger twin, Lori goes to sleep or effectively disconnects herself from her sister's activity.

		When we returned to America, a distinctly tabloid streak began to emerge, playing to the ghoulishness that lurks within us all as we were introduced to Lori and Reba Schappell, who have been joined at the head since birth and were displayed as a latter-day Chang and Eng, parading for our delight and horrified amusement.
		You see, her sister Lori is a professional country music singer and being joined at the head to one of those for all eternity is a hellish predicament that even Samuel Beckett at his bleakest could never have imagined.
