A baby boy born with two heads in southwestern Bangladesh has been placed under police protection because of the curiosity his birth has caused among locals, a doctor has said.
The boy, named Kiron, was born by Cesarean section on Monday weighing 5.5kg in Keshobpur, 135km from Dhaka, gynaecologist Mohamad Abdul Bari told AFP.
"He has one stomach and he is eating normally with his two mouths. He has one genital organ and a full set of limbs," he said.
"He was born from one embryo but there was a developmental anomaly."
The clinic had been unable to determine whether the baby had one or two sets of vital organs, Bari said.
The baby's life was not in immediate danger but he and his mother, 22, had been moved to a larger hospital in nearby Jessore city because large crowds had gathered at the clinic, he said.
"Around 150,000 people gathered yesterday from different areas. It became tough for us to care for the baby.
"We called police to tackle the situation and they are guarding the hospital in Jessore as well," he said.
The daily newspaper Samakal said many well-wishers had left money for the baby's family.

Bangladesh not India
The baby died after contracting a fever after the parents could not pay the fees for the hospital.

Ahahaha

One wonders, if she had an abortion pre-birth would the Christians say she murdered 1 child or 2?

The baby died.

It's a shame. This baby raised a couple of questions in my mind:

Firstly, each head would have it's own personality therefore I was wondering if the baby should actually be regarded as 2 people even though they inhabit one body.

Secondly, it would have been interesting to know if both heads had equal control over the body or if one head was dominant over the other.

I guess that I will never know...

Two heads one cup????

What about those 2 American teenagers who have 2 heads. 1 head controls one side of the body.

But what about 2 faces?
