A graphic image of the head of Rebeca Martinez, a Dominican infant, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic is shown on Friday, Feb. 6, 2004. A team of surgeons began a rare and risky operation Friday to remove the second head of a Dominican baby.

I hope the baby will be okay :(

eeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.



But amazing all the same

Its pretty cool how this shit can be done.
I hope all goes well.

Really amazing.

holy crap that is a crazy picture.

it's incredible what they can do these days.

It would be awesome if the second head was alive.

it' always seems to be in foreign countries that these freakish births w/ defects happen. I hope she fares well through the surgery

I can remember my parents talking about they felt when my youngest brother was born with a hair lip fixed back in 54. And how the surgeons fixed it.

This girls parents must be going through some form of hell. I wish them well.

In a other countries the person would have had a scan, then had an abortion.

My sister worked in a hospital where a woman was pregnant with a cyclops baby (think both eyes merged together into one large center). It was otherwise healthy, but this 'problem' had to be taken care of; so they induced the woman into labor far too early, and then just didn't give the premature cyclops standard lifesaving care.

ewww, i feel sorry for that baby, hope the operation goes well

Oh my goodness. Makes one stop bitching about petty shit.
When I was 16 I had a part time job working at Westchester Medical Center's Childrens hall as a night porter. There were many deformed children that were left my their partents. At the time I could not look at them. As an adult looking back at the pictures left in my mind, it makes me feel so lucky of the hand I was dealt.
G-d bless that baby.

OMG

I hope the baby is going to be fine

Seems to be fine.

Good to hear that it was a success :)

Amazing what they can do these days.

Two heads, eh?

Must have been from hillbilly stock.

I just heard the operation was successfull... unbelievable!

too bad she just died

:(

I guess in this case two heads were really better than one:

The poor baby died :(

Think they will ever have another child?

:(

If the brain is formed correctly it is not a big problem(exception made from the fact that Santo Domingo surgeons are not the top surgeons of the world), but usually this rare malformations are more complicated than you see with your eyes.

Oh thats a shame she died :(

RIP :(

The operation was a success but she had hemorraging complictions post op and just died.

Such a sad thing they could keep her alive.

Wow. That's amazing.

Just a short tangent, but should pics of children on this board be allowed, no matter the context?

First time I've seen it, I was blown out... Simply amazing.
