Hi,
A parasitic twin (also known as an asymmetrical or unequal conjoined twin) is the result of the processes that produce vanishing twins and conjoined twins, and may represent a continuum between the two. Parasitic twins occur when a twin embryo begins developing in utero, but the pair does not fully separate, and one embryo maintains dominant development at the expense of the other. Unlike conjoined twins, one ceases development during gestation and is vestigial to a mostly fully-formed, otherwise healthy individual twin. The undeveloped twin is defined as parasitic, rather than conjoined, because it is incompletely formed or wholly dependent on the body functions of the complete fetus. The independent twin is called the autosite.
Even though a parasitic twin, the less dominant one may not have even a head, it is probably, to God, a very real separate person. I say this because, even in misscarriages, women sense the child as being alive and a separate person, not an embryo. Further, feelings of women with abortions bear out the reality of person to them. Each is considered by a woman a person.
Since, parasitic is merely, two persons, two embryo’s that have joined, for whatever reason this happens, they are probably two people and should be remembered as such even if one dies or is sacrificed to save the other one.
One way of looking at sacrifice in parasitic twins, is many times the sacrificial part is out or our hands, one developes at the expense of the other. Since, this seems to be so, consider it is a guide along with LOVE, on what to do.

I tend to think that each twin would have his own soul, with the “parasitic twin” being a human being in very bad condition. A sad and difficult situation.
