Baby Born with Two Heads


(Pekanbaru, Indonesia) Born last Thursday, weighing about seven pounds, the conjoined twin boys are being examined to see if they have two hearts.

If it turns out that they share a heart, doctors say it will be impossible for them to survive. And even if they do have separate hearts, another doctor was quoted as saying that separating them was not an option as they have a single body.

The Detik news website quoted 33-year-old father Badrun as saying that he and his 23-year-old wife had been trying to start a family for nine years.

The father said he would raise the twins as they are if necessary.
