Two headed baby

August 28, 2008 – 10:31 am

We have all seen babies born with extra limbs or ears or fingers. But I have never seen a baby born with two heads and everything else being normal. Unfortunately, he died two days later.

Kiron, a boy born in Bangladesh, had two heads when born. The doctors at a local clinic referred him to a hospital in Dhaka (country’s capital), but the parents brought him home because they could not afford the expenses. He died due to breathing problems and fever.

I wonder if the parents were to take him to the hospital and had the doctors decided to remove one of the heads, how would the parents decide which to remove? Unlike the removal of a limb or ear where you can just say ok, remove that one, it is extremenly difficult to decide to which head to let go. The face/head is what identifies the entire person and that is how you connect with someone, and to just say ok, let this ‘person’ go is almost impossible. It is as if there are two different people all together.

  3. That is another way of saying it.
    Two babies and one body
    or
    Two heads for one baby

    but I read somewhere that the correct thing in this case would be - two headed, single baby.
