Baby born with an extra head. That ain't right - hxxp://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=589&u=/ap/20040204/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/dominican_two_heads_1&printer=1

that's fucked up!

Qwikshot · 02-04-2004, 09:50 PM

Rebeca shares blood vessels and arteries with her second head. Although only partially developed, the mouth on her second head moves when Rebeca is being breast-fed. Tests indicate some activity in her second brain.

That's amazing and creepy...

I almost puked...

PUKED.

Amazing that they have to kill a the second 'baby' with no heart.

Fritz · 02-04-2004, 09:57 PM

Imagine this:

The baby KEEPING the 2nd head...... Now skipping ahead, let's say 15 years.

You know how damn freaky it would be if that thing would talk too?

sabotai · 02-04-2004, 10:26 PM

I'm sure it wasn't you. But, think about it... Would you really enjoy getting head from two heads? I highly doubt it. Just have two DIFFERENT babes doing it. Not two heads on the same head. Just wrong. Wrong.

I'm just laughin.. At least I can look at it without nearly puking now.

BigJohn&TheLions · 02-04-2004, 11:59 PM

OK, there is a time and a place for humor guys. And this is not one of them. Anyone who makes fun of this situation is obviously not a parent. NOT FUNNY.

Pray for Rebeca Martinez and her parents...

mauchow · 02-05-2004, 12:09 AM

While I feel their pain as a 21 year old, but usually, the defects come from the abuse of drugs and alcohol. Yes, I feel bad for Rebeca, but since I don't know the parents, I can't quite yet say that I feel bad for them.

JeeberD · 02-05-2004, 12:13 AM

OK, I have a pretty decent fever going right now. I'm not imagining this shit, am I? Cause this makes the halucinations I had last night seem like nothing...

mauchow · 02-05-2004, 12:14 AM

It's real. And on Friday they'll be attempting to get rid of the head.

A little late to pray, second head being there already and all.

If there were an interventionist god, he already stepped in.

Out of curiosity, why is this not a place for humor?

This is actually believed to be caused when there are twins, one isn't developing properly, and it attaches itself to the other baby as way to survive. As many as 1 in 8 people start off as twins, but the 2nd twin is dies off very early in the birth cycle, this is just a defect in that process. So this is a situation where alcohol and drugs don't really have to play a role the birth defect.

I thought it was when the zygote didn't completely split?

Thats another potential cause that I've read about, but that most leads to conjoined twins, this is slightly different. But they believe the cases when the twin becomes parasitic is usually caused when the 2nd baby is either completely "swallowed" by the other child, or in this case, attatches itself as a means of survival.

Hmm... that's some pretty heavy speculation, seeing as how HAL is already near a 52 week high.

"Rebeca is the eighth documented case in the world of craniopagus parasiticus...All the other documented infants died before birth, making it the first known surgery of its kind"

it is a free country (er, board?). You are welcome to continue to joke about whatever you wish in your world. I'll continue to refrain from making tasteless jokes about 7-week old children in trouble.

the baby died, folks.
please let the crass jokes resume.

Babies die daily. I will post them here everytime I find a news story on the internet. After that we can have a virtual group hug and cry and pray about it.

Well you seem to handle that well. Poopiehead.

A hockey player in Grand Forks who is 17 is dying of Brain Cancer. He has about a week to live.

A 14 yearold in Grand Marais Minnesota was diagonised with bone cancer on his birthday. He spent Thanksgiving and Christmas in a hospital getting treatment.

I think what Fritz is saying is just because something is a news story, it shouldn't require everyone on here to have to walk on fucking eggshells. The only reason we even heard of this kid is because it was born with two heads. Spend your days mourning the fallen while the rest of us realize as much as we sympathize with people we have no connection to at all, it is meaningless. Maybe if we all prayed harder the kid would have lived. I guess we screwed the pooch on that one...

Draft Dodger · 02-07-2004, 09:58 AM

I personally don't find any humor in this sad story at all. Others do, and that's life, although I suspected that some people were missing the fact that this was a baby still in grave danger. And, all I (and BigJohn) was trying to do was to remind people of that. If they still wish to make jokes, it's their perogative.

If you want to gather from that that I'm suggesting we all sit around holding hands singing kumbaya, that's your problem...er perogative.

That is fine you don't find humor in it. You don't have to rip those who do.

Many people can have a discussion with people without name calling. Others decide that is better just to call someone a braindead jackass. I guess if that is the extent of your ability to communicate that is your problem...er perogative.

if you re-read, I think you'll see the only one I ripped was you, and that's because you completely twisted around what I said.
