In a small village in India, a child has been born with two faces due to an extremely rare condition known as craniofacial duplication. She is being worshipped as the reincarnation of an Indian goddess.

You can watch a video about this unusual child and you can read more about her as well.

You know - for the LIFE of me I can't imagine why the parents are NOT allowing her to have any scans...which were offered FREE to the family to see if the little girl has any brain abnormalities. I understand they believe she is a reincarnated deity, but wouldn't you want to know what to expect?

Oh my goodness! That poor little angel.

Although perhaps she will have a (materially) better life than many in India because of the attention and wealth this will bring to her family and village.

I just hope that she remains healthy and has a happy life.
