Received word that the Iranian twins didn't pull through. It is a great tragedy. They were both only 29 years old.

Although the pain is deeply felt by their fellow countrymen, no doubt there are Singaporeans who are also affected by their deaths, and staff at Raffles Hospital have expressed their profound sadness, after caring for them for the past 7 months.

Do not be disheartened. We often pray for miracles, but even if they don't occur, it doesn't mean that nothing good has come of it. Laleh and Ladan were willing to take a chance and attempt to beat the odds, and there were people who were brave enough to help them. History may not have been made, but the first step has been taken, and others will follow with time. Kudos to the medical team for trying their best, and our condolences on the twins' passing.
