Baby boys joined from the belly button to the top of the chest were born at Binh Dinh General Hospital on November 12.

The Siamese twins with conjoined liver have separate arms and legs but whether they share a heart haven't been unknown.

Parents Nguyen Hon and Nguyen Thi Diep are from Son Hai Commune, Song Cau District, Phu Yen Province.

Early reports on the twins suggested they were both weakened by breathing difficulties. They were cared for in intensive care, where doctors supplied oxygen.

Their parents are suggested to move them to a hospital in HCMC for the separation, but their parents can't afford the operation.
