Wonders of nature: Baby born with extra limbs
Sheikh’s heart beat wildly. He begged the nurse not to hide anything from him. “Your boy is healthy, but has six legs instead of two,” said the nurse. Sheikh’s wife, who underwent surgery on Friday morning at Civil Hospital Sukkur was not ready to talk. Probably because of the shock.
Sheikh works as an X-ray technician in a private hospital and earns around Rs6,000 in a month.
He got married four years ago and this is his first baby. But, the birth was complicated too.
He said that the doctors advised him to take the baby to Karachi for checkup and if possible, a surgery. “But I cannot afford to go to Karachi,” Sheikh said.
For now Sheikh has taken his baby home. He appealed to the government and philanthropists to provide him with financial help so that he can travel to Karachi.

@Atheist, India: 1st, I thought Indian Scientists have taken over the reins of modern scientific education and such believes only show their heads in movies. 2nd. I also believe Atheism is about proving of God's existence & has no goal of hurting people's feeling when they need the support the most. "Scientist", "MBN" & "bunty" your're on the spot. Stay away from cousins, please!
@tal: Chill man! Maybe your turban on your head is too tight.
@tal, Read my name again. It says it all.
@Atheist, India: keep your twisted views to yourself. dont say anything if you haven't got anything good to say. joker!

As reported, the father is a radiology technician. Unguarded exposure to radiation is a likely cause. In the west, the operators are typically shielded in booths surrounded by special radiation absorbing shields. The persons getting Xrayed are covered with lead aprons to prevent gonadal exposure and subsequent mutations. Added to this, the risk from consanguinal marriages is a sure path to birth defects.
This is a case of ischiopagus conjoined twins.
....i hope this wasn't a third generation cousin marriage...because then "Told You So" would be the only response...
