A baby born with two faces in India

[Elano]

Tot Lali was born in a northern Indian village with two noses, two pairs of lips and two pairs of eyes - but only two ears.

Hundreds of pilgrims have visited Lali, worshipped as the reincarnation of a Hindu goddess, and her impoverished parents to touch her feet out of respect and receive blessings.

The baby has caused a sensation in the dusty village of Saini, 25 miles from New Delhi.

When she left the hospital, eight hours after a normal delivery, she was swarmed by villagers.

The director of Saifi Hospital Sabir Ali said: “She drinks milk from her two mouths and opens and shuts all the four eyes at one time."

The child apparently has an extremely rare condition known as craniofacial duplication, where a single head has two faces.

Lali’s condition is often linked to serious health complications, but the doctor said she was doing well.

“She is leading a normal life with no breathing difficulties,” said Ali, adding that he saw no need for surgery.

Lali’s parents, Vinod and Sushma Singh, were married in February 2007 and Lali is their first child.

Sushma said: “Initially we had some problem in accepting the child but now everything is fine.

“She is just like any other child.”

I don't understand the parents:
"She is just like any other child".
Ok...she deserves to be loved like any other child (if not even more),but unfortunately SHE ISN'T like any other child.....

yeah most of the stories are usually based around that region..

I don't mean to be ignorant but could it be something in the air, or some chemical disposition or something...
I'm not certain,that child is going to survive to reach her teens...Truly Sad!

Hey WyKid, props on the info there!
Just checked that on Wikipedia, i was surprised!

It has been bugging me,why mutations-if i can call it that, occur over therein that part of the world.
LOl I'm not sure it has anything to do with 'No eating Beef' ..lol..I don't eat beef myself, but who knows, it could an amalgamation of different things..

Yes it's sad, cuz she will not live Long!
