Brrr, it's freezing out there, so 'scuse any typo's.
Anyway, AOG, I have to be perfectly honest here. If I had have been told I was expecting conjoined twins, I'm sure after a lot of soul searching, I would have opted for a termination, but only in the very early stages. The reasons being, is that I couldn't have gone full term, then give birth, knowing that there would be complicated surgery &/or further medical procedures ahead for them.
On the other hand, once you've seen a baby's heart beating away on a monitor, let alone two, it must be an extremely painful & difficult decision to make - ending their lives before they've even been given the chance to survive.
As for the cost to the NHS, that wouldn't even come into it. There are lots of people out there that smoke or drink themselves to near death, then rely on the NHS to offer them medical treatment to 'get better'.
