The document discusses a case study on medical ethics regarding conjoined twins. It argues that the parents, not doctors or courts, should make the decision about separating conjoined twins, as the twins' lives belong to the parents. While doctors can explain the twins' condition, the decision is a personal one for the parents. It also argues that from a religious perspective, separating conjoined twins could be considered wrong, as no one has the right to end a life if it is God's will for the twins to survive.

Who should make the decision from the question of what the decision should be?
1. It is inappropriate for the court to be involved in this type of
case, thus what the doctors did was unethical; they can only tell or explain the twins' condition, not decide. The parents are the one who should decide to have the conjoined twins delivered. It is their children’s lives. Would it be right or wrong, in these circumstances, to separate the twins?
2. In God's eyes, it is wrong to separate the babies; no one has
the right to take a people's lives, especially in the situation of conjoined twins. If it is God's will for the children to survive, then be it. Let them enjoy the life that they were having.
