Post subject: Poor girl

What a poor thing, having to go through this.

Doctors operated on a two-year-old south Indian girl yesterday to remove an extra set of arms and legs that she was born with. The limbs and extra internal organs belonged to a "parasitic twin" that stopped developing in the womb and became part of the surviving featus. The little girl, named Lakshmi after a Hindu goddess with four arms, is now recovering after a team of more than 30 surgeons in Bangalore worked to remove the twin's limbs and organs and separate the fused spines.

Ya, I heard about that. How did the operation go?

From what I understand, it went successful. But there are many more children like this … untreated.
