Spider-Girl

Doctors began operating on a 2-year-old girl born with four arms and four legs in an extensive surgery that they hope will leave the girl with a normal body. Yeah, good luck.

The freak girl is joined to a "parasitic twin" that stopped developing in the mother's womb. The surviving fetus absorbed the limbs, kidneys and other body parts of the undeveloped fetus. Lakshmi, is named after the four-armed Hindu goddess of wealth, something she'd have if the family put her on display in the traveling circus.

Shockingly, there are many complications for Lakshmi's surgery. The two spines are merged, she has four kidneys, entangled nerves, two stomach cavities and two chest cavities. Peep the picture if after all that haven't figured out she cannot stand up or walk. Sexy.

Lakshmi stands an 80% chance of surviving.

Nobody should be surprised that this story comes out of India, and that the hospital doing the surgery is paying for the operation because the girl's family could not afford the medical bills.
