We operate our body with a single processor, the brain. Our organs are also managed by the brain. The brain is highly optimized to operate each of our organs, control motor functions, and allow us to think.
1 brain cannot control 2 bodies, there’s simply too much going on. Likewise, 2 full brains cannot control the same body, they would fight for resources. Organs keep the brain alive, the brain keeps organs alive. It’s a 1:1 ratio, sometimes less than 1, but never double (some have been born with extra controllable appendages but it’s few and far between).
Therefore, only a higher, more generalized, processor could handle operating 2 or more distinct beings.
If only our cells could talk.
Abby and Brittany Hensel, would disagree.

thats flipping it though, its two brains driving one body.
With A and B, some organs it’s 1:1, some are shared… Point is, not every organ has to be 1:1.
Most conjoined twins don’t survive. Some do and live atypical lives. My argument is that, 1 brain cannot control 2 bodies, and 2 brains cannot control 1 body. In A&B’s case, their core organs are approaching 1:1, and each controls a couple extremities on their respective side.
