I don't know if a parasitic twin is actually self-aware.

The one I saw could speak, had a name, ect. She just didnt have control of the body except for one arm.

I would be interested to see the medical data on that. Parasitic twins are not the same as conjoined twins.
|
In this context she could be considered parasitic, since she had little or no control over the body she shared with her twin.

Me: So if we recognize the parasitic twin as a person, we recognize that they have the basic right to live, even if it inconveniences the other twin. Correct?
if its conscious, sure, as long as that doesnt put them at risk.

So as long as she is unconscious, it is ok to kill here. Is that your position?

Me: Brain development actually doesnt stop until at least the teens, and maybe not even then.
im talking about development in a responsive capacity, in the context of consciousness/awareness.

How long should someone be in a coma before we consider them non-responsive and therefore dead? Is five minutes enough time? If not, why?
