Baby born with two faces

[Revan]

This is bizarre. A baby born with two faces is already being worshiped as a god. The picture of her almost looks photoshoped but it's real.

She's only a few days old and already a baby girl in Northern India is being worshipped as a reincarnated god.

The newborn is unlike any other child villagers have seen before — she has two faces.

The girl was born on Monday at a hospital in the suburbs of Delhi, according to the Daily Mail.

Since then, people in her rural village have been singing and dancing — offering money and asking for her blessings.

The parents are hoping the government will help with medical treatments needed for their baby girl in the future.

For now though, both mother and child are healthy and doing fine, according to a doctor at the hospital.

yikes

I've said it before and I'll say it again.... All the freaks are born in India.

[Hannah]

So uhh.. do both faces work?

[Peanut]

They both look fully formed. That would be so weird if both of them actually functioned.

[Buslady]

poor kid. it does seem they have a high number of deformations over there doesn't it? Probably their living conditions...it's not great. Alot of places, they dont have flushing toilets...

They do. The doctors reported her as drinking milk from both mouths. And I kinda don't like her being called a freak. She's just a baby with some extra stuff.

A little harsh there arent you?:|

Two-faced girl, nothing new here. lol, jk.

There seem to be a lot of indian mutations and birth defects in the news tho. I wonder what's going on there. :/

Over one billion people living in one country, that's what's going on there. Thus, a greater probability of such defects to occur.

Silly pilgrims. India is where the highest concentration of Utroms live, thus, lots and lots of ooze.

Anyway, if she was my kid, I would have called her Janice :D

[Ra]

Damn. That's pretty freaky, even by my standards. I seriously doubt that they can remove one face and keep the other, so I guess she's stuck like that for life. Forever worshipped as a god...a curse and a blessing rolled into one.

The parents of a baby girl born with two faces say that they have no plans to seek treatment or surgery for their daughter.

The girl, who has yet to be named, was born in a north Indian village and is being worshipped as the reincarnation of the Hindu god, Lord Ganesha.

"The doctor said everything is normal when she was born. So where's the need to get medical help?" said the child's father, Vinod Kumar, 24.

"She's fed through one mouth and sucks her thumb with the other. We use whichever mouth is free to feed her," Mr Kumar said, adding she is eating and breathing normally.

The three-week-old baby from Saini village in Uttar Pradesh state, 30 miles north-east of the capital New Delhi, is being hailed as a "miracle" child.

Hundreds of locals are flocking to seek her "blessing" and, in keeping with Indian tradition, showering her parents with money.

"At first I was a little afraid," said Mr Kumar of his first child. "But then I accepted whatever God gives."

To the largely illiterate villagers from the agricultural community the little girl is a reincarnation of Lord Ganesh, the half person and half elephant, and one of the most worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon.

He is a highly benevolent god revered as the remover of obstacles and creating new beginnings.

"It's a gift from God. Some people say she is like a goddess," schoolmaster Harsharan Singh gushed.

Little, however, is known of the baby's physical condition as her parents are not permitting doctors to examine her.

"They are not aware enough that they should come in for treatment," Dr M Ashmosd, who delivered the baby at the local government hospital, said.

"I have told them that we are ready to do the CT scan on her for free. But they have ignored me."

Another local doctor, Bridal Nagar, said she was not an "abnormal baby" but just one with two faces living a normal life, but who might face problems later on.

"And if she dies it's as God wishes," he added.

Last year surgeons successfully separated a two-year-old girl from a conjoined headless twin and reconstructed her body in a gruelling operation lasting nearly 27 hours in Bangalore, southern India.

Born with four arms and four legs but a single head, Lakshmi Tatma was named after the four-armed Hindu goddess of wealth and is growing up normally.

There's a video of her on the site.

No one should make fun of this girl. It's actually really neat. Good for her.
I wonder what it's like to see with four eyes....

I think they each see with their own set of eyes. That's what I think, anyway.

[Ninjinister]

She's not the reincarnation of Ganesha. I played poker with him last week and he still looked like a pot bellied red skinned man with a white elephant's head. :D

Seriously, though... nobody gets why I would want to name a girl with two faces Janice... I had to explain it all day today. Does anybody here understand?

See! I was talking about her in a chat and only like one other person understood why I thought her name should be Janus, after the Roman 2 faced god of doorways who January was named after. Duh!

I have no fraking clue why they think she's the reincarnation of the elephant god.

[Cure]

I woulda named her Harvey Dent.

How about Duela??

[GK Punk]

Duela didn't have two faces :p

THANK YOU! SOMEONE gets the pun!

Who the hell is Duela?

Yes I know, I've transported hundreds of special needs. I'm well aware of that.

Over one billion people living in one country, that's what's going on there. Thus, a greater probability of such defects to occur.

Plus the fact that many of the villages have no sanitation(either proper sewers, toilets, etc or trash serivce) increasing the chances of these deformations and sicknesses. Unless it's just one location where I've seen on tv of the old lady sweeping poop off an outside public toilet. Anybody who uses this is exposed to who knows what diseases, viruses and bacteria. Here's proof http://www.swopnet.com/engr/sanitation/India_sewers.html

At least they ARE trying to fight the problem but it's not good enough. But because of old tradition and beliefs, they refuse toilets. Sad stuff.
And yes im aware it could simply be a genetic anomaly, or a disease influenced anomaly and the point is, this is one example of the cause of high risk of these deformations. Bigger populations you need better sanitation to prevent diseases and high risks of folks being born like this. She will have a hard life either way. I feel bad for her.

Goddess? Doubt it.

Google "Duela Dent"

[Ninjinister]

Google "Duela Dent"

Yeah, I don't keep up with Marvel and DC much anymore. They've gotten way too confusing these days with their House of Ms and Infinite Crisis of somesuch and New Days and killing of Captain America and stuff. I think I stopped reading on any real basis after Superman's return from death.

Duela Dent is the daughter of Harvey Dent or The Joker. Nobody knows for sure. Altho it seems that after the whole 52 thing Duela and Joker's daughter became 2 different people.

[Ninjinister]

You just proved right there why TMNT is the only comic I keep up with.


But we're going off-topic now.

[AquaParade]

I woulda named her Harvey Dent.

I can't help it....:lol:

[Sewer Bull]

... wait, what? Harvey Dent and Joker formed a gay relationship and adopted a daughter?

[Raph's Girl]

No. In the past Duela has never been clear as to her parentage. She's claimed to be the daughter of Harvey Dent, The Joker, Cat Woman, Penguin, Riddler, Scarecrow, Doomsday, and others.

The CURRENT Duela (who was killed in countdown) was from an alternate earth where she was indeed the biological daughter of the Joker and Two Face (who was a woman) and the step-daughter of The Riddler
