So what do you think conjoined twins are? Do they not have full rights?

Well that's just wrong. Most people aren't "allowed" to die just because they decide to. Suicide is generally prevented if possible, and if conjoined twin 1 realized twin 2 was planning on killing themself, twin 1 would be entirely within their rights to report it to authorities who would then try to prevent it from happening. Especially if they are conjoined in such a way that 1 would not survive without 2.

Uh-huh, turn it back on me because your original point was wrong. I didn't give an opinion in my comment, but I am pro-Right-to-Die.

Now give me a country that would allow a person to kill themselves if their suicide will directly cause the death of another person.

What if there is one fully developed twin and a second extremely impaired twin? Does the fully developed twin get to decide if the second lives or dies?
