The one-week-old boy is believed to be one of parasitic twins. His conjoined twin was born prematurely and incompletely developed, which resulted in the second child having the extra legs, said Jamal Raza, director of the National Institute of Child Health in Karachi, to News.com.Doctors at the institute are fighting to save the newborn, who remains in an intensive care unit ward. Raza added that they were planning to operate on the boy and were considering asking for help from foreign experts with more experience in the rare disease, believed to afflict just one in one million babies. He tried to clarify that the baby did not have six legs – he had two legs and the other four belonged to the other twin. 'Operating on such a baby is not an easy task as proper assessments need to be done first,' he said. 'We need to figure out whether the baby has his twin’s limbs or his own. We also need to consider how much the internal organs have developed as the latter could complicate matters and decrease the baby’s chances of surviving.' Speaking to the news site, the baby's father, Imran Shaikh, made a plea for help from the government and charities. ‘I can’t afford to visit Karachi and get treatment for my baby,’ said the X-ray technician, who earns the equivalent of $66-a-month. ‘I appeal to philanthropists and the government to come forward for the treatment.’ Shaikh and his wife of four years live in Sukkur, around 280 miles north of where his son is being cared for. His wife is reported to be recovering well from the birth and in a good state of health. His wife - who is also his cousin - has been unable to travel because she had a caesarean section delivery. He said they were planning on naming their son Umar Farooq. Source |

sweetcocoa: He married his cousin,if na here omo it will automatically mean that kid is the punishment for the abomination they have committed. what do you think it is. maybe not a punishment but consequence. its more like that such happens with in-breeding. However, children born of incestous unions have greatly increased risk of death and disability at least in part due to genetic diseases caused by the inbreeding.[6]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incest 2 Likes |

What other name can we give this? A superstitious fellow would say it the work of witches. A scientist would call it Genetic Mutation. Let pregnant women be wary of what they do during pregnancy! |
