"The head that was removed from Manar had been capable of smiling and blinking but not independent life, doctors said."

Hmmm. :/

In that Reuters pic the second head hardly looks responsive. In this case certainly it would appear that the chance for a normal life for the healthy twin is the overriding factor. She looks quite perky.

Any ideas about this blinking/smiling thing? Could that by caused by electrical stimuli from the healthy twin?
