This is truly worthy of the Enquirer!
Egypt baby improving after extra head removed
Girl will soon be able to breathe on her own, doctor says
CAIRO - An Egyptian baby who underwent a 13-hour operation to remove an extra head will soon be able to breathe on her own, a doctor treating her said on Tuesday.
Ten-month-old Manar Maged was suffering from one of the rarest birth defects -- craniopagus parasiticus -- a problem related to that of conjoined twins linked at the skull.
The head that was removed from Manar in the operation which ended early on Saturday had developed no body, and was capable of smiling and blinking, but not independent life.
Has Zaphod Beeblebrox seen this?

I can't imagine it was that conformable giving birth to that.
Probably a c-section though.

Me too - how do they know they didn't kill the head/other girl?

I've seen so much disgusting crap on the internet (tübgirl, etc) that I must be jaded. This doesn't disturb me in the least.
