We have normal lives
World's longest-surviving conjoined twins celebrate their 50th birthdays

THE world's oldest living conjoined twins have defied doctors' predictions and reached their 50th birthday.
George and Lori Schappell, who are joined at the head, celebrate their special day this Sunday.

And the pair are marking the landmark birthday with a trip to London.

Remarkably, the Siamese twins are able to live very different and separate lives, with Lori having had relationships and George — who was originally named Dori — deciding to live life as a man.

Lori is also a champion ten-pin bowler and George performs as a country and western singer.

Lori says: "When we were born, the doctors didn't think we'd make 30, but we proved them wrong.

Wow! I reckon any claim I ever had to complaining about anything has just evaporated.

Thanks a lot, Ep!

Wow is right. Their story is very inspiring. With all they had to overcome, and not just survive but to flurish is amazing. God Bless Lori and George.
