Two Faced Baby
In case you’re not a news phene, allow me to introduce you to baby Lali.
Just over a month old, the Indian infant was born with Craniofacial duplication, meaning Lali has two faces shared by one head–two sets of eyes, noses and lips.
I can’t help but imagine what life would be like for Lali had she been born in America. Unlike her Indian neighbors, Americans would likely label her as a freak.
However the very opposite seems to be occurring over seas. According to the BBC, Indians are flocking to see the child, eager to sneak a peak.
Some believe her to have special powers, others revere her as a goddess.
Whatever they want to call baby Lali, I think it’s bewitching that a country looks at such an aberration in a positive light instead of shuttering as I fear most Westerners would.
I would like to know if, when she talks, both her mouths move or if she can choose which to talk out of and what about her eyes, ears and noses too.
I hope at some point you are going through your old posts to read this.
