This Just Ticks Me Off
An Egyptian girl who survived an operation to remove a second head has died from a brain infection.It wasn't a "second head" - it was a conjoined twin, grossly malformed and incapable of sustaining independent life, but alive nonetheless. Check out this statement
The second head contained eyes, a nose and a mouth, but was not connected to any internal organs and was not capable of independent thought.The video I saw showed "it" suckling, following objects with its eyes - "it" was alive somehow.
This is one of those places that people don't think about when they think about the Schiavo situation. Absent the court battle - this poor, malformed baby was discarded like a tumor, and now I am forced to ask "To What End?"
