Two-Headed Baby Triggers Shock and Awe

SAINI, India, - An Indian baby with four eyes and two faces is being hailed as a reincarnation of the Indian God Ganesh, locals say.

ABC News reported Tuesday that hundreds of people have gone to the village of Saini to touch the girl's feet, dance at her bedside and offer the family money, believing she might be a reincarnation of the Hindu God who is half person and half elephant.

"People from corner to corner from all India and all abroad come here to take the knowledge about this child," said Harsharan Singh, the village math teacher. "It's a gift of God and some people say she is like a goddess. They call the baby a face of a goddess."

Medical experts in the United States who have performed surgeries on children with similar conditions say it's difficult to know the baby's prognosis without brain scans.

So do you think they will leave the child like this and raise her as their goddess? It looks that way.....

I guess some people take lemons and make lemonaide.

Genetic mutations are celebrated sometimes?

I could never understand things like this.

Take for example conjoined twins.
I don't quite know how to feel about it when parents have chosen to allow them to remain as one.
Can you imagine sharing your space- your being, organs and everything with another soul attached to you?
It really freaks me out to think about it.

Now days, modern medicine has come a long way in seperating them when this happens, with much success.
There are many who were conjoined like Laleh and Ladan Bijani well into their 20s.
Can you imagine?
