Here is a question is this really 2 people in this one baby? Is it two souls?

The freaky thing is, the mouth on the partially-formed head suckles whenever the other head breastfeeds.

I know about this because I read stephen kings "the dark half" when I was a kid. Sometimes with twins, if one is weaker or less developed than teh other, the stronger one eats and absorbs it.
Usually theres no sign of it because it happens so early in the pregnancy, but sometimes they find little baby fingernails or bodyparts in people during operations, if the twin had enough time to form. This is a really extreme case.

And untill you get to around 40 to 50, you'll only think with the smaller one.

To the best of my knowledge this actually true, believe it or not...

Yeah Sharks do this kind of thing too.

Survival of the fittest I guess.

Very sad indeed. When I read about the story on yahoo, I found that they do have some photos posted (someone asked earlier in this post for pictures):
