Two-headed baby boy born

So they are treating this as one child? Since it/they have two functioning brains (which it seems to since it feeds from both), wouldn't that be two individuals that share a body? What is the minimal amount of individual organs to make it become conjoined twins rather than a single person who happens to have two heads?

it was formed from one embryo though, which means that it is one baby with two heads, like when a turtle or lizard is born with two heads you dont say they are two lizards, you say one lizard with two heads. But there are a set of girls born here in the u.s. that share a body, and they are two girls because one girl has two arms and the other has only one, so they only really share one pair of legs and reproductive organs, this is one baby with a twin head!(the indian baby)

This is definetly some kind of twin at conception,but development was somehow impaired.

I find that picture mind-blowing and assumed it was fake at first. And 150,000! That's quite a crowd.

I am fascinated by the photo. I reckon our culture is returning to the days of the freak circus, people love seeing the weird and the wonderful.

I can't help but feel we are exploiting the subjects of these stories though.

i hope the kid grows up to be a rock star

that is the coolest thing i have ever seen - period .

this truely blows my mind, so if they have 2 heads and one body, and share some organs, there obviously goin to have 2 different enomtions, but how do u feed a 2headed and one stomach..being?! do they know when there full?!!? do they cry at the same time or does just one cry at a time..?! i need answers damn it!!!

what did they name the baby. or babies?

This is crazy, does only one mouth need to feed to keep the other head going? One if one head is gay and the other is straight??? OH MY GOD. So many questions. does only one head control the body and the other head is just for show?? The next stage of evolution??

Absolutely mind boggling.

Somewhere P.T. Barnum is smiling.

So what then happens if it's got 1 heart? Doesn't that indicate 1 being over & above any number of heads it does possess...?

Human anomalies have always fascinated me. I always wonder which person controls which limbs and such... and what if they have a pinching competition!? What about the skin... do both feel everything or does one feel half/some skin... I mean, if the left hand gets burned, will both feel it?!

They'd be really good at Guitar Hero.

but are there two personalities...? if they are two seperate people with two seperate minds, they should have their own names right?

anyone know why this kind of stuff happens to happen, it seems, often in this region of the world?

I have a hard enough time getting my own thoughts together. I hope they don't end up having different ideologies, although it'd be awesome taking tests with another head there to store memory. If they got married would it be to the same woman or do they each get one? Enough of my bad thoughts, I hope they have a good life.

im kinda old fashioned, 2 heads...2 names.

you know what they say..."two heads are better than one!" lol

amazing!

This is just mind boggle-ing! I think they deserve 2 names though. They both have brains right?

Im still confused, I thought two brains means two seperate minds and people. Unless one brain controls both heads!?!

ahh, so wierd.

I hope they can live a healthy life.

I bet the left head will be the more dominant one, as it seems to be bigger and set more straight on the body. Of all the conjoined twin stories i've seen, the twin that is more physically prominent and straight is the leader.

If someone married someone with two heads or a Siamese Twin....are they considered a polygamist? (I know the baby here is male and there is a female word for Polygamist---but it would ruined the flow.)

Kiron is a cool name, by the way. I stare in fascination than whoa what is that....I find that to be important so that if I ever had such a child or a child that was different and people stared I would say, "They are staring at you out of fascination not out of fear."

I think it's cool that people are leaving money. That's kind of them.

I realize this type of thing happens everywhere in the world but it just seems like it is prominent in this area of the world. Wonder if there is anything specific that contributes to these anomalies.

i wonder if its like computer with two screens...or two computers hooked up to one screen...like do they/he have individual thoughts? or does he think them twice???? so confusing
