Makes you wonder what form life can take

I wonder what Rick Santorum's position on this would be.

If life begins at fertilization, and therefore has nothing to do with "viability, " then this "entity" is a life and must remain in place. Removing this "entity" is murder. Right? Consistency? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Where is the cryptkeeper when you need him?

The condition is known as Fetus in Fetu. It means one fetus sort of wrapped it's self around the other. The resultant tumor is sometimes called a dermoid cyst. It can have hair and skin in it. The Fetus in Fetu is something I have been interested in every since I did my rotations as a paramedical medicine student years ago. I was doing anesthesia rotations and we actually sat by in the OR at that time. The case was a child who had a dermoid cyst in the brain. The surgeon was shaken when he opened the skull and the thing had an eye that looked like it was winking. It was removed and the child did fine, but it set off a lifetime interest in the phenomenon. The surgeon allowed everyone in the OR to look at it since they might never get the chance to see another one. They are freaky to look at, but are simply one more strange possible outcome of pregnancy.
