"A toddler born with eight limbs and believed by some to be the reincarnation of the multi-limbed Hindu goddess Vishnu, is set to undergo a 40-hour operation to remove half of her limbs.
Lakshmi Tatma was born joined to a 'parasitic twin' and will go under the knife at the hands of 30 surgeons to remove two of her useless arms and legs...."

Doctors In Southern India Successfully Operate On 8-Limbed Girl

Bangalore, India (AHN) - A girl born with four arms and four legs was successfully operated on Wednesday after an arduous 24-hour procedure done by doctors in the Southern Indian city of Bangalore.
Dr. Sharan Patil of Sparsh Hospital, who led a team of more than 30 surgeons in the operation, stated that the surgery went "wonderfully well," removing Lakshmi Tatma's extra limbs, salvaging her organs and restoring her pelvis area.
She added that the 2-year-old girl born in the Indian state rural part of Bahir, can now live her normal life as anyone else does...

Let's give a hand to the team of surgeons who undertook this task.

*golf clap*

As wild as the diagram looked, a dead fetus attached to your tailbone is much less serious than a lot of wild conjoined twin surgeries.

--errr nevermind. Kidneys, spinal cord, and other organs from the parasitic twin were involved.

bravo to the surgical team!

Doctors at the Sparsh offered the surgery, which roughly cost $625,000, for free due to financial problems of the girl's family.
Somehow I doubt this would happen in the U.S.A.

I would've elected not to have surgery. I'd be the real Spiderman.
