Eight-limbed girl's rare operation

November 06, 2007

Indian doctors are operating on a two-year-old girl who was born with eight limbs in southern Bangalore. Laxmi was born to a poor family in a village in Araria district in India's eastern Bihar city. The illiterate villagers first considered her as an incarnation of Hindu Goddess Laxmi but after some time they realised that she was not well and needed medical help.
