lakshmi, the little girl with 8 limbs - AfroChat - African American

An Indian girl from India was born with 8 limbs. From what the story says, the baby was born conjoined with a twin. I saw the picture of the little girl and her body and burst in shock and tears. I have seen worse but this is the worst. Read this story for yourself and tell me what you think.

What's going on in India because I find this to be more common place then ever before.

national geography will air this program on june 22. i forgot what channel it will be on but they will be documenting this little girls journey from how she was born and when she gets the surgery. heres a little excerpt about it.

Quote:

Lakshmi Tatma was born with four arms and four legs - amazing creature-, but also carries a rare parasitic conjoined twin that could kill her. Go behind the scenes of this complex operation and the media firestorm that makes Lakshmi famous throughout the world

Lakshmi’s family lived in one of the poorest, most isolated, and most politically unstable regions of India: an outlying area of a state known as Bihar. Bihar is notorious for lawlessness and a highly active communist terrorist group which bombs road and rail links and attacks police posts on an almost daily basis. We knew that working there was going to be difficult and dangerous – and that the Indian government would be wary of allowing a foreign media crew in to film As the director and producer responsible for making the documentary happen, I knew I needed to put together a top team.

oh and you know what gets me curious? they called this girl a "little creature". is it her fault that she's born like that?
