I was curious about how much ethical wrangling the doctors did before deciding to kill the
parasitic twin. I mean, sure, it's completely deformed and the sister cannot develop normally
while still connected to her twin, but you're right, it is still technically a living human being.
Perhaps the fact that it simply looks inhuman makes it easier to handle? Hrm.
