* Baby Girl A and Baby Girl B (born 1977 in [[New Jersey]]) shared a single six-chambered heart. Separation surgery would result in the certain death of Baby Girl A, while offering a remote chance of survival for Baby Girl B.

Everett Koop]], who had already performed two successful separation surgeries in the past, held lengthy discussions with the family and their team of rabbinical advisors. At the family's request, and after obtaining a court order protecting him from any possible criminal liability, Koop agreed to lead the surgery; Koop did not seek civil indemnification for himself beforehand. Baby Girl B survived for three months, before infections led to liver failure, resulting in her death.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.daat.ac.il/daat/kitveyet/assia_english/drake-1.htm|title=Siamese Twins: The Surgery: An Agonizing Choice – Parents, Doctors, Rabbis In Dilemma|date=1977-10-16|access-date=2020-05-09|website=Philadelphia Inquirer (reprinted)|archive-date=2020-11-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201126014848/http://www.daat.ac.il/daat/kitveyet/assia_english/drake-1.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>
