A baby boy bearing two heads has been born in India and has been described as a 'miracle' by doctors.
The baby boy was born on Monday morning local time to his 20-year-old mother at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, in Ajmer, Rajasthan, in northern India, and weighed about 2.5 kilograms (5lbs 7oz).
#1 Two Heads
This two-headed baby boy was born to a 20 year old mother in India.
#2 Difficult Surgery
Dr Jaiprakash Narayan Jawaharlal, at Nehru Medical College, in Ajmer, Rajasthan, wanted to operate, but it proved to be too difficult of a task. 'The operation is possible in some cases of conjoined twins but here it was nearly impossible,
#3 Died
The baby boy didn't make it, dying 32 hours after birth.
#4 Took Him Home
The baby died at home when his parents decided to take him home after being warned not to.
#5 Hard To Separate
It was too hard to separate these two babies. 'Despite having two pairs of all of their internal organs they were all trapped in one body, with only one pair of arms and legs. You cannot separate such children.'
#6 Birth Defects
2 in 100 births in India result in birth defects.
#7 Congenital Anomaly
It's sad to hear that this baby didn't make it, but the numbers were stacked against him. 'In absolute numbers, this translates into nearly [600,000] babies being born each year with congenital anomaly, with heart defects being the most prevalent condition.'
