Separated Vietnamese conjoined twin Viet dies at 26
TOKYO, Japan - Nguyen Viet (C), a Vietnamese man born as a conjoined twin apparently due to the influence of Agent Orange that the U.S. military used as a defoliant during the Vietnam War, died in Ho Chi Minh City on Oct. 6 at age 26. The photo, taken in 2006 at a hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, shows Viet surrounded by his brother Duc and Duc's wife. The twins were separated through surgery at age 7 by a group of Japanese and Vietnamese doctors in 1988. They had been conjoined at the lower halves of their bodies and sharing some organs. (Kyodo)
