'Till Death Do Us Part: The Halachic Prospects of Marriage for Conjoined (Siamese) Twins

Abstract

This thought experiment considers whether Siamese (Conjoined) are allowed to marry according to Halacha. It considers various aspects of the Biblical bans on incest and offers a very contemporary discussion about the meaning of personhood. This paper uses medical journals, works on medical history, and various responsa to find a precedent and paradigm by which this question can be considered
