Foetus in Foeto....whow!
Ok, so this posting has hardly anything to do with fashion or art, but this is nuts and I wanted to share it with all of you little freaks that would find this as interesting as I did. I first heard this mentioned over a casual Sunday brunch .... I thought it was some freakish urban legend from the East and an awesome choice of table talk. But, after reading this article on BBC, I see that foetus in foeto is an actual phenomenon. So the deal is that a young kid of about 16 had apparently given birth to a baby, and…read the excerpt from the original BBC article:
“Sixteen-year-old Abu Raihan was admitted to the Bangabandhu Medical University hospital in the capital, Dhaka on Saturday. "After the operation we found a dead foetus weighing two kilograms (4.5lbs) in his abdomen," Doctor MA Mazid said, the AFP news agency reports. "Apart from the head, all other limbs of the baby were developed." The condition is known as "foetus in foeto", or inclusion twin. "In this case the foetus of the baby entered into the foetus of the boy and continued to grow like a tumour in the boy's abdomen," gynaecology specialists Nurun Nahar said. The foetus had developed into a tumour but was found to have hair, nails and bones.”
