Meet 7-Year-Old Conjoined Twins Who Can See Through Each Other’s Eyes

Tatiana and Krista Hogan, from Vernon in British Columbia, were born with their skulls and brains fused. Now seven years old, they can see through each others’ eyes and share emotions and sensation.

Doctors also believe the pair share thoughts – a view shared by their mother Felicia who says the pair often tell jokes to each other without saying a word. She says that while looking after the two girls isn’t always easy, she wouldn’t have them any other way.

Mrs Hogan and her husband were given the news that their babies were joined at the head and that their futures would be uncertain during her pregnancy.

But she says abortion ‘was not an option’. Instead, the pair have been constantly monitored since birth – and caused marvel among doctors astonished how their shared brain works.

While each controls her own limbs, both twins can control one each of the other’s legs and arms.

But while they are feel the same things they also have different personalities.

‘Over the years Tatiana has become the prominent leader,’ says their mother. ‘Krista is quieter and can be more in her own shell.’

Or as Tatiana puts it: ‘I’m the red Power Ranger – Jason! The leader’
