Yes it is indeed creepy. I agree with Painted that my first thought was where are the "pro-life" people jumping to stop this from occurring? Sad thing is, if this had been stopped, then both (and I use both rather loosely here) babies would have probably died.

Actually the "pro-life" people were jumping up and down in a similar case that happened over on this side of the pond a few years ago. The sad thing was that the most vocal were the child's parents.
They were told - both of these children will die if left unaided, we can seperate the healthy one from from the parasitic one and the healthy one has quite a significant chance of survial.
The parents claimed that doing so would be murder, and instead they wanted to see both of the babies die?
God's will at work apparently.
They brought the hospital to court to prevent them from saving the life of one of the children.
