This is one of those decisions people wish they didn't have to make.

A British court has ruled doctors may operate to separate conjoined twin 
girls — killing one to spare the life of the other.

Three judges of the Court of Appeal ruled unanimously in favor of the 
separation despite the Roman Catholic parents' determination to leave the 
infants' fate to "God's will."

Doctors said the girls, identified only as Jodie and Mary, would die within 
months if they remained together, but that Jodie could survive on her own.
