Exclamation Second head removed from two headed baby!

Did anyone see this:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6998205/

That is really creepy, IMO.

The fact that the second head blinked and smiled is like something out of a horror movie *shudders*.

the link took too long to load for me so I will have to read it later, but I betcha it was supposed to be twins and one absorbed the other. I wonder if the one that survives will still "feel" or remember the other one? hmmmm creepy all right...

Ya - I kinda lost my appetite for dinner after seeing this story.

Not every day that you see something like this . . . and thank goodness for that!

Well, the good thing (if there is one ) is the second head apparently was not a life, but an appendage controlled by the one being. So, when they removed it, they were not killing a life in being. I, once again, am just thankful that medical science has advanced (by whatever means) to the point where this life could be saved and that this infant now has a chance for a relatively normal life. I call this another miracle, medical or otherwise

Wow. I can't even go and look at the picture after reading folks' reactions. I'm so sensitive I'll be messed for a while so I can't do it. I can't imagine what this poor child's life would have been like had he been born before we had this technology.

I also was not really doing that on its own. It was sort of like that woman in Florida that blinks and smiles, but is not aware of anything she is doing. I think the whole thing is just so sad

It is. The poor parents, what an awful thing to have to deal with. Except that the good thing is they have a presumably healthy child.

The wingers need to figure out which side of the argument they are on with this. I was being rather sarcastic. Sorry, I should have used an emoticon.
