A pair of Siamese twins is born.

Both are connected at the head with each having
totally seperate organ systems. The only exception
is twin two has no brain.

Does twin number two have the capacity of thought
or is it just a living body minus any thoughts, emotions,
or mind?

The brain not only has a function in emotional issues, but also regulating a
huge amount of vital bodily functions such as respiration, heart rate, blood
pressure, endocrine balance, locomotion etc
So you could say that a body without a brain, even with perfectly good
organs, would die pretty quickly...
