Separated conjoined twin learns leg making

OITA, Japan - Nguyen Duc (R), a Vietnamese who was separated from his conjoined twin brother in 1988, learns how to make artificial legs and maintain replacement legs in a two-week training course under Mikio Yuki (L), the Japanese designer and maker of his artificial leg. Duc, 19, was born joined to his twin, Viet, in 1981. The abnormality is suspected to have been caused by a defoliant scattered by U.S. military aircraft in the Vietnam War.
