World’s Oldest Conjoined Twins Lori and George Schappell Dead at 62

The
siblings
also
appeared
on
several
documentaries
and
on
episodes
of The
Howard
Stern
Show

and The
Jerry
Springer
Show

in
the ’90s
and
early
aughts.

In
2007,
the
Schappells
became
the
world’s
first
same-sex
conjoined
twins
to
identify
as
different
genders, with George coming
out
as
transgender,
Guiness
World
Records
said.

Throughout
their
lives, the
twins maintained
that
they
were
neither
limited
nor
defined
by
their
conjoined
status. 

“Normal
is
whatever
you
make
of
it,
but
we’re
very
happy,”
Lori
told
the Los
Angeles
Times
. “It
all
comes
down
to
compromise.
If
more
people
in
life
did
that,
the
world
would
be
a
better
place.”
