I think she is amazing from a purely biological standpoint--- since I am not religious, talk of goddesses and deities mean little to me. There was a bit of media coverage a few years ago concerning a kitten who was born with the same condition ( 2 faces), but it unfortunately died shortly after birth. I do hope she fares better--- though i do wonder about as she gets older. Which face are you supposed to talk to, or which eyes/face are people supposed to look at? Will one face be dominant? will she have two voices and speak "in stereo"?...

SWEET!! ! STEREO SPEECH!! !

so this is the next generation of humans!! !

DUAL FACES FTW!! !

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

i wonder if she can see out of all four eyes.. if so she has a HUGE advantage...

Only if her brain can process 2 simulcast stereo images, moving independantly of each other. I doubt any human brain, even a mutant brain, is capable of that kind of processing. At best, it would be disorientign. Wouldn't the brain try to merge the video signals from "Camera A" and "Camera B?"

If this baby survives, it may eventually become practical to keep one face hooded at all times, for cosmetic reasons as well as sensory ones. But what the bleep do I know?

it's a defect of the sonic hedgehog gene........ responsible for body symmetry, starting with the head.

It's a miracle that she is not fighting for her life in some ICU. Yes, her biology is different, but it works! It's all holding together ... so far. Let's send our best wishes to this special little girl. :heart:

WOW! She is such a two-face! But seriously, my heart goes out to her. She's cute, and I hope she can live a normal life.

Who's to say a child like this should live? Sounds very harsh, I know, but it had to be said.

The curbies say the same thing about us. :roll:

Challenge to be different topic

Sometimes it hurts to be different. It hurts worse when people do not understand you. I hope in this case people will finally get it and understand the true meaning of difference and accept human diversity.

Having ASD and being born with two faces ... not the same thing. To be "noble oppressed" one must actually be noble and oppressed. Get over it.
