| Two-headed baby under police guard |
| 2008-08-27 |
| A BABY boy born with two heads has been put under police protection in Bangladesh because of the curiosity his birth has caused among locals. The boy, named Kiron, was born by caesarean on Monday weighing 5.5kg in Keshobpur, 135km from Dhaka, gynaecologist Mohamad Abdul Bari said. "He has one stomach and he is eating normally with his two mouths. He has one genital organ and a full set of limbs," he said. "He was born from one embryo but there was a developmental anomaly." The clinic had been unable to determine whether the baby had one or two sets of vital organs, Dr Bari said. The baby's life was not in immediate danger but he and his mother, 22, had been moved to a larger hospital in nearby Jessore city because large crowds had gathered at the clinic, he said. "Around 150,000 people gathered yesterday from different areas. It became tough for us to care for the baby. "We called police to tackle the situation and they are guarding the hospital in Jessore as well," he said. The newspaper Samakal said many well-wishers had left money for the baby's family. |

| #9 REDDIT > STUDY:C-SECTION BABIES MORE PRONE TO BECOME DIABETIC. I hope his family can overcome the many challenges which lie ahead - noted personages born wid similar conditions have lived full, even satisfactory, lives albeit wid modifications. *Received an education, jobs, got married, had kids - the full monty. BEST OF LUCK, LITTLE GUY! |

| #3 I think perhaps Zaphod might be a more appropriate name in this case. |
