This isn't exactly recent news, but I came across this and wanted to share it.

Don't mean to thread hi-jack or anything,
But here's a living 2-headed person here in the US.

That. Is. Super. Creepy.

That's all I have to say. Wow.

Edit: Second one was posted while writing my original post. That's crazy! I don't see a successful marriage in the future though....

Amazing. Not really two heads, but conjoined twins who didn't develop fully (the narrator said "Manar and her twin", so I assume that's what it is). Either way, it's amazing how that sort of thing can happen. This reminds me of a documentary I saw about a set of conjoined twins, actually the ones Steph posted the video of. I find it so fascinating how this sort of thing happens.

Cool stuff :3

[ShatteredWings]

wow.
just wow.

I feel bad for the family..

Hehe Zephyr, I came across that on TLC not long ago lol :P. Anyways, I dont particularly feel bad for them, except the attention they would get. It would be interesting to talk to them because there are so many things that would be different. Like would they get paid one paycheck? If they got a ticket, which persons money would pay it? Lol, there are so many questions.

I could not be with a girl well 2 girls with 2 heads just because of well bed time.

Makes me wonder... when they eat, can they both eat and have food go into the same stomach? Could one of them stop breathing for an indefinite period of time and stay alive while the other breather? Etc., etc., lol. That is really neat.

Edit: Ooh, found something on Steph's twin people:

This story is about another baby born with craniopagus parasiticus (the condition that Manar Maged was born with.)

girl;453799']I feel bad for the family..

Excuse me? Yes, having special needs child is very hard on the family, but I don't think it's right to pity them. Having been there, I hate it when people would say, "Wow, I'm so sorry for," after hearing learning about my sister (while she was still alive). Like having her for a sibling was a burden, something bad. It's not like that at all. A vast majority of those families would rather have the kid be different than not have them at all, and I'm sure Manar's parents are glad to have her as she is rather than if she'd been "normal" but perhaps stillborn.
