If a conjoined twin is using the others nutrients to sustain it's life, it is almost certain the other twins life will be in danger, due to loss of nutrients. In that case, yes, you have every right to remove it.

i case you cant dont realize it yet, most conjoined twins can feed themselves individually which means that either twin can sustain themselves through the intake of nutrients.. even if they share an organ together, you cant prove that one organ belongs to one twin as opposed to the other.
not to mention that there are those pesky laws that prohibit the killing of another human being.
BTW even in the case you present, that one twin is draining the nutrients of the other, you can use iv lines to survive. and i dont see what would stop the other twin from consuming more nutrients.
