Child Born With Four Arms and Four Legs

In India, a team of 13 surgeons have started operating on a two year old girl named Lakshmi Tatama who was born with four arms and four legs. She had a parasitic twin that stopped developing after birth. The twins are joined at the pelvis and both have a pair of arms and legs but only Lakshmi has a head. Her parents see her as a reincarnation of a Hindu goddess but she needs the operation if she is going to live past her adolescent years. The operation will last for 40 hours and the family isn’t being charged anything for any of the costs.
