I'm going to assume that if i see this child in 12 yrs, i'm not going to
recognize her.

@newssvr24.news.prodigy.com:


pictures of a two headed baby can only be released by a hospital if
the
parents agree to it --- it doesn't 'just sort of happen'

What pictures? It was a tough article, but I didn't see any pictures
nor
full names....
what gives?



USA's site has a photo:

http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/...ion-usat_x.htm

To me this is an issue of the medical profession publicizing a rare and
difficult medical procedure, to which the parents agreed since they are
getting the treatment for their child for free.


this is a total pander --- why do people have to see these pictures
except for the usual pornographic reasons? think how this child is
going to love this following her around for the rest of her life --
pictures once publized are forever

a damn shame society has moved to a point where a woman automatically
reflects on all the scare tactic/reasons it can't be someone elses fault
they'd been fed over the years. Then again, they aren't from the states,
perhaps they aren't afflicted with our stupidity.

Those are *always* news.


This world has never seen a live 2 headed baby before. This is a
first.

How did it happen? If I were the mother, I'd be fighting irrational
feelings of guilt: did I drink too much alcohol before pregnancy or
otherwise abuse my body?

Pollutants in the atmosphere don't cause twins, much less
partially-separated and/or partially-developed twins.

What makes you think alcohol consumption causes twins to develop?

She doesn't. She said she would have "irrational feelings."

What are you worried about.. After the operation, the kid'll look normal and
no one will be interested then..

Unfortunately she didn't make it:

Actually, this isn't the first. There was actually
conjoined twins born last year in Egypt that share the same
body. That's right: two heads, one body. Now that's a
freaky picture.

Is it possible they come from a small town where you don't get any
darn privacy anyway?

The article says they come from the Dominican Republic.

I am sure the culture is entirely different there.

There are some girls in the U.S. like that. They consider themselves two
separate individuals. They have one body, two arms, two legs, two heads.
Each head controls half the body. I think what's unique about this baby is
that one head is growing out of the other and it is parasitic in nature.
