Freaky

Odd that she would be born in a country with multi-limbed deities isn't it.
I'm sort of surprised the parents (being Indian) would want her to have the operation.

A toddler born with eight limbs and believed by some to be the reincarnation of the multi-limbed Hindu goddess Vishnu, is set to undergo a 40-hour operation to remove half of her limbs.

Lakshmi Tatma was born joined to a 'parasitic twin' and will go under the knife at the hands of 30 surgeons to remove two of her useless arms and legs.

The headless 'twin' is joined to Lakshmi at the pelvis and has its own spinal column and kidney.

Without the operation the little girl would never be able to walk or crawl and would be unlikely to live past her early teens, doctors said.

The extraordinary eight-limbed baby was born in a poverty-stricken region of Bihar, India - on the day devoted to the celebration of the four-armed Hindu deity Vishnu.

Her mother Poonam Tatma said she believed her daughter was "a miracle, a reincarnation" of Vishnu.

Dr Sharan Patil, who will be leading the surgery at the country's Narayana Health City, in Bangalore, said: "Fortunately, Lakshmi has one complete body with a near perfect set of organs.

"Her skeletal system involves two bodies which are fused together at the level of the pelvis.

"The operation itself, although presents several challenges, is not the most complex in the world. What is highly unusual in Lakshmi's case is precisely how her bodies are fused, almost mirroring each other."

Parents Poonam Devi and Shambu Das, who earn about 50p a day as casual labourers, were turned away from several hospitals before her plight was taken up by Dr Patil.

The operation is expected to cost about £100,000.

Poonam, who gave birth to Lakshmi on the celebration day of the four-armed Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity after whom the new born was named, said: "She is a miracle, a special blessing from God. But she is my daughter and she cannot live like this."

Laskhmi is the subject of a Channel 4 documentary as part of the Bodyshocks series.

so if it was a single parasitic twin then why does she have three sets of legs?

i got $20.00 on her in an ass kicking contest...

There has to be one or more, reason being...she has to eliminate urine...or die.
If she couldn't you would see a suprapubic catheter (well in her case it may end up being a bilateral abdominal catheter, depending on whether or not she has two bladders) and a foley bag/s for the urine to drain into. Since she doesn't I bet she has two, one on each side, and goes in both directions when she pisses.

Unfourtunately, the skeletal pic doesn't show ureter placement, if it had, then there would be no question.

30 surgeons?

Wonder if that's some kind of record.

I'd be suing Pampers for not making a diaper that fits my kid...

I think it is refreshing.

Good question...yet note in the skeletal pic, it says Twin A and Twin B, suggesting two "others" which would make much more sense. Note how the body tried it's best to keep symmetry throughout.

As do I, I do wish however, that she could stay that way without it shortening her life or limiting or capacity to enjoy life, the child seems happy.

India needs hope, just look at the excitement caused when they think a statue is drinking milk. There is not much doubt in my mind that there are those vehemently protesting the operation.
