Indian girl born with 8 limbs

Postby cmplxty7 » Tue Nov 06, 2007 17:41:21

Biologically rare & interesting, though creepy. For the Hindu community she was born in, religiously sacred. For the doctors who are performing the operation, a medical first.

The mother was pregnant with co-joined twins, but the other one stopped developing, so there was an extra torso, arms, and legs (but no head). If you watch the video of her while her parents were being interviewed before the surgery, it is eerie! I am so glad the parents decided to go ahead with the surgery, though, as many of their villagers believe the girl is the reincarnate of Lakshmi (who the girl is named after), the Hindu goddess who had 4 arms, and did not want the parents to change her.

My word... that sounds like a child that the Hindo would end up worshiping... I wonder if they think it might be their "second Christ" :mrgreen:

Absolutely crazy! Rare, that is an understatement...
I will have something here... at some point...

from what I understand about reading the articles about it, MANY people WERE worshipping her!

I didn't notice how old she was, but in the video she looked close to two.

You are right - many people ARE worshiping her (did Madd not read the article? :p ).

Although they are sad that the parents decided to go ahead with the surgery to remove the extra limbs, they are wanting to build a temple for her!

No, and I really cannot see the picture because the monitor on my work computer is bad (a reference I made to Melissa's cat looking like something else on my computer at work here). Just goes to show how smart I am, then, to come up with that without reading the article :mrgreen:

haha - well, there is a video, which is creepy (I feel BAD saying that about a little baby girl, but it IS creepy) - you should use the Wii to get online and look at it on the bigscreen TV. :lol:
