Question[edit]

Did the surgery occur after, or before, they were born? Stonemason89 (talk) 19:11, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Age?[edit]

Interesting article. But I notice it doesn't mention anywhere how old the twins were! Days? Months? Years? How long did the whole judicial process take from start to finish, while doctors were waiting? Shreevatsa (talk) 23:31, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dates of birth and death added Francium12 00:28, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy?[edit]

Surely this was a very controversial case, should not the article make mention of that?--63.3.21.1 (talk) 03:30, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
