Kid with Two Heads

DHAKA (AFP) – A baby boy born with two heads in southwestern Bangladesh died after his parents decided to take him home because they could not afford adequate medical care, a doctor said Thursday.

The boy, named Kiron, was born Monday by Cesarean section and died at home late Wednesday after developing a fever and breathing difficulties, paediatrician KS Alam told AFP.

Kiron had attracted such attention that 150,000 people gathered at the clinic where he was cared for after his birth in Keshobpur, 135 kilometres (85 miles) from the capital Dhaka.

Police were called in to control the crowds and Kiron was transferred to a hospital in nearby Jessore city.

But his parents decided, against doctors' advice, to take him home, Alam said.

"We wanted to refer him to a hospital in Dhaka but the family was so poor that they could not afford to take him there, so they took him home where he died," Alam said.

"It was a very unusual case. The boy had one body but two complete heads."

He weighed 5.5 kilogrammes (12 pounds 1 ounce) at birth.

 

holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

 

How come these freakish kids always pop up in these 3rd world countries like that?

 

That is very sad.

Why are all of the crazy birth defects in India anyway?

 

I just always wonder why do hospitals never give free surgeries to save lives like these. I mean, the families of children who are born with unnatural defects almost always have to search high and low and scrounge tons of money for a surgery for their kids. Is there nobody who would be willing to do an operation for them without having to be paid?

 

That ain't right, man... the way you say... pop up... it's "pop out"

He just had one name? I think he should have had two.

 

This thread is gross.

 

Bangladesh not India


we have the kids born with tails

 

So who would hit the one on the right?

 

I saw these girls on discovery channel or something.......

they were in high school and saying 'we are just like every other teenager, were really normal'


YEA! except for the fact you have TWO HEADS!

 

That's normal for us GUYS, sir.

 

I wonder what surgery you are thinking would save this child?

 

I remember seeing that too. It even had guys flirting with it, and what I can't help but think is that those guys were just trying to either get on camera or to look "sweet" to the other girls in their school. I honestly felt sorry for it.

 

The way doctors act about money nowadays? Not likely.

 

there goes the 2 chics at 1 time fantasy.

 

"It" ?

 

it...
