i am presently writing a project about siamese twins and the halachic laws concering them. i would like to know under the jewsih law what should doctors do when 1) only one of the twins have a chance to live if separated, but one is not weaker than the other, one or the other may survive. 2) what happens if one is has less chance of surviving than th eother is separated 3) if one is almost certain to die and the other will be able to survive when separated. 4) should we operate if they both have equal chances of survival
Thank you
sincerely
