RE: BORN WITH TWO HEADS
Permalink   
 

Okay, I don't really know this story, but let me get this straight: with the other head the baby would've grown up healthy.

Having had the other baby (head) removed, now the surviving child is brain damaged?
What would've been the risk if they'd grown up with the two heads? Would they have survived?
And how bad is the brain damage?


 


Maybe I should look this up.

There is nothing wrong with medicine helping someone to live a healthier better quality of life..........The key word being LIFE!!!!


Many times God will let things like this happen......as a test of faith.......which I think the mom passed with flying colours.......and also.....for all of us to learn from it as well....

I think that it would be more selfish to not have the baby.  Just because you know that the baby is going to be mentally ill isn't reason enough not to have him/her.  If the baby will only have a short life I think that we should just let nature take its course, and not try to play God.  Who are we to decided who lives, and who dies regardless of the situation.

I'm open to peoples points of views......


Ethics though I think are ingrained......so I'd be very hard for someone to chance my mind about these types of topics....


But again.......I respect.....

And this one from an ethical point of view.

It doesn't bother me at all. I'm just looking at all this from a philosophical/skeptical point of view.

Good point. The baby looked like a girl! I wonder how they realized that!


BTW, i just realized my TLC channel is on channel 34. I was watching something on 44, so that's why i mexed them up!!

Ok there's commercials now............... what do you people think of this operation.


I can't watch the operation, it's disturbing!! I feel so bad for the babies and the family. As well as the doctors, cause the outcome is all in their hands!

I think that the operation, as risky as it is for both babies, is the only way to go. How could anyone live like that?


I can't watch the separation of the heads.

The head with the body is a normal baby......


The second head has a fully developed brain......but no body. Well....it has a small spine....but no heart, no lungs, no nothing........but it blinks, and bites and has a totally different personality than the bigger host body....


They're gonna operate now.....


I'll let you know....


I'm sure the normal baby will survive.....I doubt that they'd show this if it ended badly.....but we'll see...


I'll keep you posted....
