Woman denied abortion fears conjoined twins will be 'lifeless' after painful pregnancy

Lunch cook Lorisete dos Santos, 37, and her family also fear her own life could be at risk after the traumatic and painful pregnancy.

Doctors have told her it's likely she'll be forced to give birth to "lifeless" infants in the ninth month - but that if they are alive, the medics don't know how they can treat them.
