2nd head removed.

All I can say is OMG. A baby was born with two heads and one was removed at 10 months.

Caution there is a picture of the child before the surgery. It is not like you would expect a second head to be attached.

It's the same as conjoined twins except she didn't develp a complete body. Very sad.

"The head that was removed from Manar had been capable of smiling and blinking but not independent life, doctors said."

It makes you wonder if she "it" was capibable of independent thinking. There was no way it could vocalize with no lungs to push air through vocal cords. And she was still young enough where she could not understand how to communicate.

**fish_doc** · 03-01-2005, 06:51 PM
