Holy hell! When you hear it, it’s one thing, but when you see it… Thank God for modern medicine and technology in the US. This sort of thing doesn’t happen (at least that I know of) over here. It’s apparently the cause of a parasitic twin that stopped developing and the surviving fetus absorbed the limbs and other body parts.
Can you even imagine this?!? In this picture, and especially the other picture here she seems completely content and completely normal otherwise. She’s actually a pretty cute little girl and she comes from an attractive family. The article where the picture is from mentions that she is undergoing surgery now and that things are looking hopeful. They’re hoping to give her as much of a normal body as possible.
I hate to even mention this, but I was just getting ready to write that I get the “shivers” every time I see the picture. When I saw the word shivers written, I subconsciously thought of Shiva Nataraj, who I believe is a Hindu God. I wonder if people are thinking that she is Shiva reborn and what they are thinking about the fact that they are performing surgery to remove the extra limbs. Just curious.
