Pennsylvania parents to keep twins conjoined

A Pennsylvania couple has decided not to split their newborn conjoined twins, local news outlets said, citing the high risk of surgery for the boys. Garrett and Andrew Stancombe were born healthy two weeks ago conjoined at the torso and sharing a heart and liver, the twins' mother Michelle Van Horne told Pittsburgh-CBS affiliate KDKA, and were released from their hospital four days later. Van Horne and her husband Kody Stancombe decided against separating the twins due to the serious risks of surgery, Van Horne said to KDKA, but the boys' current condition is no guarantee of a long life.
