I'm really disgusted by some of the comments here. These people didn't choose to be "freaks", they were born like that. Perhaps when one of you has a child who is born with such a disease, you may face some of the pain these poor folks had to endure. Go ahead and downvote me, but somebody has to stick up for the little guys.
I had a book about these side show people. There was one who was essentially a head a small caccoon shaped body. The one I remember the most was the Siamese twins. When one died, it killed the other brother as his blood flowed out but not back from the brother that died.
That's what I call my sister. But we ain't twins
