La embriología médica en el cine. El caso de las gemelas unidas Hilton

Abstract

This paper analyzes the crime noir drama film Chained for Life, loosely based on aspects of the lives of Daisy and Violet Hilton, pygopagus conjoined twin sisters. Played by them, it tells the story of a conjoined twin sister who kills her husband and the trial to which she is subjected. The jury must decide, if she is found guilty of first-degree murder, whether her sister receives the same sentence. In this context, it may become useful for health sciences students for debating its religious, legal, and ethical-moral aspects.
