Baby born with two heads

She was diagnised with Dicephalic Parapagus

A baby has been born with two heads at an Indonesian hospital.

The unnamed girl, born on Monday, was diagnosed with Dicephalic Parapagus, meaning she has two heads and two necks, but one torso.

Born at the Ibn Sina General Hospital, weighing 4.2 kilos, reports say she suffered respiratory failure and is in an incubator.

Due to there being only one set of organs, there is no chance of separating them.
