On August 26th, a Bangladeshi baby boy named Kiron, weighing 5.5 kg (12.1 lbs) was born. He died after his parents decided to take him home against doctor's advice because they could not afford to take him to a hospital in the city for proper medical attention.According to the doctor, "It was a very unusual case. The boy had one body but two complete heads." [Yahoo! News]
Too bad they weren't able to keep the baby alive for a longer time. It would have been a great case study. If the parents could not afford the medical attention, why couldn't their government help out even just a little bit? Surely, the news reached them because the local police was called in to control the crowd of 150,000 which gathered in the clinic to look at the baby [Yahoo! News]. I am seriously wondering if both heads were responsive, like did both heads cry upon delivery, do both heads have reactions like smiling or yawning and did both heads need feeding? Poor babies. :(

does that mean the baby has 2 brains? thats cool and interesting. you're actually right about keeping the baby, cos it could possibly be the 1st and last baby with 2 heads. :)
I think it was for the better that he died coz it would be hard for him. at least his an angel..with two heads..
