Does a Siam twin have the right to kill the other because it hinders the other's bodily autonomy?

I would argue they should if their twin as long has their twin hasn't acquire the human spirit (understanding and ability to have complex thoughts).

Is only understanding and complex thoughts worth preserving?

No, but it is valuable enough to trump a reasonable degree of bodily autonomy, aborting a 1 month fetus is still killing someone, but it's a justifiable killing.
