| Abstract (English): |
The article focuses on the analysis of the film "Chained for Life," which is loosely based on the lives of the conjoined twins Hilton, Daisy and Violet. The movie tells the story of one of the twins who murders her husband and the trial she faces, raising ethical and legal dilemmas about shared guilt. Through this context, it is suggested that the film may be useful for health science students by addressing religious, legal, and ethical-moral issues related to embryology and the condition of conjoined twins. Additionally, the article briefly mentions the lives of the twins, their experiences in show business, and their tragic end. [Extracted from the article] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
Resumen: Este trabajo analiza el filme dramático de cine negro y crimen Chained for life, basado muy libremente en aspectos de la vida de las hermanas Daisy y Violet Hilton, gemelas unidas pigópagas. Interpretado por ellas, narra la historia de una hermana siamesa que mata a su marido y el juicio al que es sometida. El jurado debe dictaminar, de ser declarada culpable de homicidio en primer grado si a su hermana le cabe la misma pena. En tal contexto, puede resultar útil al alumnado en ciencias de la salud para debatir sus facetas religiosas, legales y ético-morales. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
