When conjoined twins don't want to remain conjoined ...
and they choose a surgical option, then we cannot stop them if they are consenting adults. However, we can recognize that the surgical procedure will be divisive and we can keep threads about it off the board.

3. What if one wants to separate because they become irrational and inconsolable and simply refuse
