Tiny freakish girl "just the same as other people" claims tiny, freakish girl
Fenriswolf:
Just to go slightly back towards the original topic (though I agree with the sentiment above). WTF is with this quote (re: two-faced baby):
--- Quote ---Another local doctor, Bridal Nagar, said she was not an "abnormal baby" but just one with two faces living a normal life, but who might face problems later on.
"And if she dies it's as God wishes," he added.
--- End quote ---
A local doctor said that?? O... kay. That's a helpful attitude. Plus, aren't you curious about why? Seriously, I want to know what she is genetically (is she made of two fertilised eggs?), what her brain is like, how her nostrils and sinuses work and what her trachea/oesophagus looks like! Maybe that's seeing her as a freak show but how the hell does the two-faced thing actually work?!
P.S. Evandar? As in Evandar the guardian from the Deverry series? That's an awesome awesome name. I love Katherine Kerr. Just finished her most recent book, so your reference made me smile lots (unless there's another Evandar which I am wondering...)
Barmymoo:
I see your point, Fenris, but I also understand why her parents would rather they didn't poke around to find out how she works. I mean, back when Michaelangelo was working out how the average human body worked he waited until the people were dead before having a good look. So really, if doctors want to find out what's going on with her faces and how it happened etc, they shouldn't treat her any differently to how they treat people with just the one face.
That really really isn't as articulate as I'd have liked but I've just had an hour and a half of Chaucer analysis and my brain has dissolved.
Barmymoo:
Rather like taking physics classes, in my experience.
Actually that wasn't fun either. But it certainly held little scientfic value. We were amused when our teacher managed to reverse the laws of magnetic polarity one lesson though.

Also I think you should appreciate how hard it was for me to make a calm and polite reply to that.

I think you are misunderstanding me.
ATTENTION INTERNET HE NEEDS A BOYFRIEND HLUAGHALAGHAULAGHALAUAH
(I love my tall Twiggy friend. He is pretty much my favorite boy in the world, mostly because I can constantly pick on him and he doesn't really mind. Or maybe he's just too sweet to tell me that he minds. Either way, I'm having fun.)

Dammit, I thought you had managed to become a tolerable poster and stopped pissing people off
