Vishnu Baby Goes Under the Knife
November 5, 2007
Laksmi Tatma is a cute 8-limbed Indian toddler apparently born on a day of celebration for the 8-limbed Hindu god Vishnu. Not surprisingly, she’s widely considered a spiritual blessing, and a once-in-a-blue-deity phenomenon. Doctors consider her the victim of an undeveloped parasitic twin, whose lifeless arms and legs remain fused to her pelvis. They’re about to begin a 40-hour surgery to make her appear more mortal. Is it deicide? You decide.
