Q2)If you were a part of a conjoined twin,would you rather stay together with your twin for the rest of your life or would you risk both your lives to go for an operation?Why?

If i were a part of a conjoined twin,i would rather risk my lives to go for an operation because I know my other twin would be tired of doing her work and i know how much it hurts if we kept doing together and tried to do our own things but we can't.I hope that if i go for the operation,it would be successfully work.
