#2 Shannon And Mike Gimbel - Had To Choose One Twin To Live, But Both Survived
When Shannon Gimbel was pregnant with her twins daughters, she and her husband Mike, were told that they would need to terminate one of the babies or both babies wouldn't make it full term. The babies had Twin-To-Twin Syndrome (TTTS), where they were connected by blood vessels, and one twin would drain the other one over time and then both would die. In a turn of events, doctors in Utah were able to use laser surgery to cauterize the blood vessels while the twins were still in the womb, disconnecting the twins from each other. Both twins survived.
