That condition of "twin absorption" and "parasitic twins" is bizarre to say the least. It's always fascinated me.

I heard the head surgeon say today that they expect her to lead a normal life now.

she looks a happy little thing anyway,

Not me.

Pitying her is doing her a disservice. She probably needs love and encouragement a hell of alot more than she needs pity.

I hope she has a full and happy life.

The docs did a good thing.

I agree, Nomad. Since she was born this way, she will probably adapt well to any adjustments she needs to make without knowing the difference between her and "normal" people.

I wasn't aware freakshows were still in existence, even in other countries. That's kinda sad but then maybe some of those people have no other way to care for themselves?? I don't know.

That little girl is adorable. I am so happy for her. It is wonderful that the doctors did the surgery for free. Gives you hope for mankind. Im also so glad that the parents hid her from the heartless ghouls that seek to make money from the misfortune of others.
