Two-faced baby born in India
This is really shocking....
Two-faced baby born in India - New Zealand, world, sport, business & entertainment news on Stuff.co.nz
An apparently healthy baby girl with two faces has been born in northern India, media reports say.
The girl has been drawing crowds to the family's mud-and-brick house in a town 50km from New Delhi, Agence France Presse reported.
"She's fed through one mouth and sucks her thumb with the other. We use whichever mouth is free to feed her," her father, factory worker Vinod Kumar, told AFP.
Kumar admitted he was "a little scared" when he first saw his daughter, but she was a healthy baby who was eating and breathing normally, AFP said.
"Whatever God has given me is acceptable. What can we do about it?"
Some in the deeply conservative Hindu nation see the baby as a deity.
The baby is yet to be named.
Doctors said separating the two heads was not possible because the skulls were fused together, AFP said.
The girl's birth occurred just a few months after Indian docotors removed the extra limbs of two-year-old Lakshmi Tatma, who was born with four arms and legs. |

Re: Two-faced baby born in India
Is it just me, or do these stories having to do with children born with deformities QUITE often come out of India? Children with multiple arms, legs, etc.  How is that child going to live?

Re: Two-faced baby born in India
So like is the child one person with two heads or two people fused into one head? If it's the former, that's really interesting. Imagine being one person and having four eyes and two mouths...

hmm... i think the latter would be even more interesting... i wonder if the two people would fight each other in controlling the body... i wonder if she can talk from both mouths and carry completely different conversations? or maybe carry a conversation with herself?
does this mean she still has two ears? |

I think it's the former, which would be a really interesting case study assuming that she has one brain, in contrast to conjoined twins who have two brains. I wonder how her mind will map out with an extra face.
Subhanallah, this should be really interesting. I'd love to study this type of stuff.

Yeah I think you're right. There was that smallest girl in the world thread the other day, and a few days ago there was a documentary on TV about the Spider girl, the little Indian girl who had eight limbs.

It sounds like there is one brain with two faces. It's a condition called diprosopus. |

The way everyone else lives. In India, it might be easier for her, they seem to treat unusual appearances as dieties.
I don't think it's just in India though, those conjoined twins were American. We all have something physically unusual about ourselves. I have a very long nose and no it doesn't come about from lying  |
