OMG - a two headed baby born.

[Analog]

Following the birth of her baby, mother Maria, 25, admitted that she had been told she was set to welcome twins.
But following a number of tests, doctors have revealed that the baby has two brains and two spines but shares one heart, lungs, liver and pelvis.


The hospital's director, Claudionor Assis de Vasconcelos, told Brazil's O Povo newspaper that the woman decided to travel to the hospital because she was feeling strong abdominal pains.




The 25-year-old mother, who lives in a rural area of the state, had no ultra-sound scans during her pregnancy and only found out about the abnormality minutes before the baby was born at 1am on Monday morning.

I wonder if the one will go limp when the other one eats?

And that's why women have 2 boobs. They're leading the way in the next evolutionary step :^D

The 2 spines thing has me curious. I'd like to see how it's all put together.

 

[TecHNooB]

how awkward

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure...

Put them all in the land of two headed giants.

Yea, it is almost a pretty decent setup. I wonder how functional this baby will be with two separate spines. It's just so fascinating. How do the brains determine who has precedence in body movement?

I have to roll my eyes on some of the comments - it is still two human beings we are talking about. I can't imagine the life they're going to have to go through.

I wonder if the stress of having to pump blood to two brains will shorten their lifespan at all.

So what'll happen when we move to quad-core?

Kind of sucks though that DNA's (lousy) error-correction isn't able to prevent this sort of thing from happening.

now, only if i could get 4 livers...

 

[DaTT]

Do the parents have to come up with 2 names?

 

[Maligx]

You know what they always say, two heads are better than one!

So we need to develop ECC-DNA?

So, if that baby grows up, and gives someone advice, would it be giving their 4 cents?
