World's Most Bizarre Birth Defects

1) Siamese Twins Ahmed and Mohamed Ibrahim




Anyone who watches the Discovery Health channel knows that nature likes to throw us a lot of genetic curveballs: Siamese twins, extra appendages, chimeras, hermaphrodites...you name it. But you haven't seen anything yet. The people in this article have some of the most startling, unimaginable birth defects the world has ever seen. Suddenly that annoying birthmark of yours doesn't look so bad.




2) Supatra "Nat" Sasuphan

"Wolf Girl"

She may look more like a furry animal than a little girl, but Thailand's Supatra "Nat" Sasuphan (dubbed "Wolf Girl") in fact has Ambras Syndrome (also known as congenital hypertrichosis), which causes excessive hair growth over the face and body. The Daily Mail reports that only 40 people worldwide have been diagnosed with this unusual condition.

3) Milagros Cerron: Before and After surgery


"The Little Mermaid"

Lots of little girls dream about being a mermaid just like Ariel. But for Peruvian baby Milagros Cerron, being born with fused, mermaid-style legs was a nightmare. The precious tot was born with a condition called sirenomelia, more commonly known as mermaidism. According to Channel4.com, the disorder strikes one in every 70,000-100,000 babies; those affected usually succumb to severe health defects and Milagros is only one of two known survivors. Dubbed "The Little Mermaid," she made headlines when doctors surgically separated her legs, and the San Francisco Gate reports that three-year-old Milagros took her first unaided steps earlier this year.

Tiffany Yorks

Like Milagros Cerron, Tiffany Yorks was also born with sirenomelia, fused legs that resemble a mermaid's tail. According to "Inside Edition," Tiffany is the first and oldest known survivor of the condition, though she has had her share of related ailments, including kidney and heart defects. Nineteen-year-old Tiffany has undergone more than 30 operations, and though her legs are now separate, knee ailments have left her in a wheelchair. Still, she hasn't forgotten her "mermaid" roots, telling the TV program that "When I'm under the water and I'm swimming I just feel free like there's no crutches, no wheelchair, no doctors, no needles, it's just me and the water."

4) "Cyclops Baby"

In a story straight out of Greek mythology, an Indian woman last year gave birth to a baby girl born with a single eye in the middle of the forehead-an extremely rare condition known as cyclopia. The baby was also born without a nose, and her brain was squeezed into only one hemisphere. According to Wired, doctors speculate that the severe birth defects were potentially caused by an experimental drug called Cyclopamine, which is used to fight cancer. The baby's mother had experienced fertility problems and may have been given the medicine-which gets its name from the one-eyed lambs that were born after a flock of sheep feasted on the toxin found within wild corn lily-as part of her treatment. Cyclopia can also arise when a mother has significantly low cholesterol or diabetes, Wired says.

5) Moises Chavez (center row left)

"Lobster Baby"

Peruvian infant Moises Chavez was dubbed "Lobster Baby" when he was born with four claw-like limbs that bend around his body-a rare condition known as arthrogryposis. According to TheAge.com.au, about one in every 3,000 U.S. births features one limb suffering from this condition; that Chavez has it in all four is extremely unusual.

"Dark-haired Moises, who weighs 2.5kg and is 33cm long, cries and reacts to sound but his leg bones are bent at a 90-degree angle from his body, while his hands are distorted outward as his tiny elbows hug his chest," TheAge.com.au reports.

Surgeons were planning to operate on Moises's arms and legs to correct the problem.

6) Manar Maged

The tale of little Manar Maged is a heartbreaking one. The Egyptian girl was born with two heads, the result of a split embryo that should have resulted in a twin; the condition is called craniopague parasiticus. Maged's second head could smile and blink, BBC News reports, but could not function on its own and it is unknown whether it had its own mental capacity. Sadly, Maged died at the age of two after contracting a brain infection.

7) The Khan Family

Birth defects are themselves extremely rare, but for multiple family members to be afflicted is almost unheard of. That makes the case of India's Khan family so bewildering. Four Khan children-including a sister who died of pneumonia at age 16-have been diagnosed with progeria, a condition which rapidly accelerates the aging process; most sufferers die by the time they reach their early twenties. According to a BBC News report from 2005, this "is the only known example where more than one family member suffers from the disease." In fact, there are only 48 cases of progeria in the entire world.

The three surviving Khan children, Ali Hussein, Rehena, and Ikramul, have skin and teeth problems, look decades older than they are, have stunted development, and are susceptible to age-related diseases. Their parents do not have the disease, and they have two healthy siblings. Doctors have concluded that both Khan parents must be carriers of the progeria gene for this anomaly to have occurred.

8) Mandy Sellars

We all deal with a little cellulite here and there...but what if your legs weighed 11 stone (154 pounds)? Englishwoman Mandy Sellars looks like your typical trim 30-something woman from the waist up, but a disfiguring condition called Proteus Syndrome has caused her legs and feet to grow at an abnormal rate. According to BBC News, Mandy's feet are 16 inches long and her legs measure 35 inches in diameter at the bottom.

Proteus Syndrome reportedly only affects 120 people in the world; "Elephant Man" John Merrick is thought to have had the condition, which triggers abnormal growth.

Mandy has been told that doctors may have to amputate her legs if they continue to grow, a possibility that doesn't seem to faze her.
"I have goals for when that does happen," she told the BBC. "Why not? It can be a different life. It could be a more adventurous life. Things I can't do now I might be able to do then. I quite fancy having a go at snowboarding actually, maybe paragliding or white water rafting would be wonderful, it really would."

9) Devendra Harne

Birth defects don't always mean compromised health or painful surgeries. In the case of India's Devendra Harne, his polydactylism condition earned him a place in the Guinness Book of World Records as the person with the most fingers and toes (25). That's 12 fingers and 13 toes, for those of you keeping track at home. According to NagpurPlus.com, "The deformity is not a handicap for Devendra who is the kid next door and attends school regularly. Devendra also attend to his daily chores without any help and is an ideal student ... Devendra says he does not feel any difficulty in using the extra fingers."

10)Sarah Morrison

Precious Sarah Morrison is not quite a year old, but she's already suffered 30 rib fractures at birth and broken two bones at home. Little Sarah suffers from brittle bone disease (also known as osteogenesis imperfecta), and her hips and back must be supported at all times. This isn't the first time her parents have dealt with the disorder; their first baby, also a girl, had the same disease and died after two weeks. Doctors advised Sarah's mother to get an abortion, and expected that the baby would die after two days. Though the little girl has proven them wrong, she is "so delicate she can break a bone just by sneezing and can never be hugged by her parents," says The Daily Mail.

11) Alamjan Nematilaev
Alamjan Nematilaev of Kazakhstan for the most part looked like any other boy his age, except for a distending stomach that made him appear pregnant. TimesOnline.co.uk reports that when doctors noticed the then seven-year-old's bulging belly, they rushed him into surgery and removed a "large, rounded mass" that was covered in blood vessels. The mass stumped Alamjan's surgeons. "They saw dark hair, arms, fingers and even nails, legs, toes, genitals, a head, an approximation of a face," The Times reports. "They had no idea what it was."

The ultimate diagnosis: This was a foetus in foetu, a "rare condition in which twins are conceived from one egg but the twinning is unequal, and at an early stage of development the incomplete twin is enveloped by the normal one, living off it as a parasite."

Post-surgery, Alamjan is now a healthy and normal young boy. Rather than risk psychological trauma, Alamjan's parents told him that he had needed surgery because he had eaten bad fruit.

Their mission was to break the world record for having the highest number of the freaky characters in a 'zombie walk'.
The current record is 894 zombies in Pittsburgh last year.

The huge mass, who were recruited via a website, descended on Leicester Square this morning.

80 lashes for 'immoral' Iranian who abused alcohol and had sex

His face covered by a balaclava, an official brandishing a cane repeatedly lashes the back of a man found guilty of breaking Iran's morality laws.

Two police officers hold the legs of 25-year-old Saeed Ghanbari and another his arms to ensure there is no escape from the punishment of 80 lashes handed down by a religious court.

Traffic was brought to a halt in Qazvin, 90 miles west of the capital Tehran, as more than 1,000 men gathered behind barricades to watch the public flogging. Saeed Ghanbari receives 80 lashes for abusing alcohol and having sex outside marriage

Some took pictures on mobile telephones, others climbed traffic lights for a better vantage point as Ghanbari was marched to the centre of the square under the watch of blue-uniformed guards carrying machine guns.

A four foot long metal bench was taken from a police van and the convicted man was made to lie on it on his stomach, his fawn checked shirt pulled-up to his shoulders to expose his back and waist.

One police officer held his hands together beneath the bench, two others gripped his legs to ensure there was little movement.

Two police officers stood-by, their faces covered with balaclavas - each to administer 40 lashes.

Crowds gather to watch the spectacle

Both men then lashed Ghanbari, taking the cane back behind their heads to guarantee maximum impact, each stroke leaving a distinctive red mark and bruising on his back.

Several wounds began to bleed.

It was unclear exactly what his offence had been as the country's strict morality laws cover many areas, but it was reported he had been convicted of abusing alcohol and having sex outside of marriage.

The public lashings have been endorsed by the judiciary as a way of deterring alcohol abuse at a time when it is on the increase among young men but some religious leaders are said to be questioning their validity, fearing they have an adverse impact on the country's image abroad.

Although men and women convicted of flouting public morals are routinely flogged in detention centres, public floggings are considered rare.

Human Rights groups say there have been a marked rise in recent months in the number of people sentenced to executions and floggings in Iran.

Amnesty International, which said it is "greatly concerned by continuing human rights abuses in Iran", has highlighted figures revealing 117 people were executed in 2006 with thousands facing floggings.

They included a woman, who had been forced into prostitution as an eight-year-old, receiving 99 lashes because of "acts contrary to chasity."

Earlier this year, a man was flogged after a copy of the Bible was found in his car.

At least 120 executions have been recorded so far this year, according to Amnesty, with two youths under the age of 18 when they committed their crimes among those killed

The latest gruesome pictures have emerged three weeks after there was an outcry over a video of a flogging in a Malaysian jail was posted on the Internet.

The sickening images showed a man being lashed repeatedly on the buttocks until he bled from several wounds.

Seven-legged lamb born

A six-day-old lamb at a veterinary clinic on New Zealand's South Island bleats like any other newborn sheep, but is rather different in other ways.

This lamb has seven legs, local media reported today.

Two of the extra legs hang uselessly behind the lamb's forelegs. The animal has three hind legs, one of them with two hoofs. It walks using its two forelegs and three hind legs, the Ashburton Guardian newspaper said.

The lamb was born last Friday on the farm of Dave and Di Callaghan.

Mr Callaghan said he was surprised to find the creature, born with a twin, walking round in the paddock with its mother and normal twin sibling.

"I have never seen anything like that," he said.

Veterinarian Steve Williams at the Canterbury Vets clinic in the rural town of Methven said he believed an error during embryo formation had resulted in the lamb being born polydactyl - with many legs - a condition that occurs once in several million sheep.

He said the lamb was also hermaphrodite and missing a portion of its bowel so was unable to pass faeces and would have to be destroyed.

"To keep it alive is probably inhumane really," he said.

I was in CAYTV this morning and I happened to open a video of a baby who look like a snake, it said that that baby was born in Jordan and she died after an hour. I don’t know if I’m late or not but for those who did not see it yet, you can view it in this link. Accordingly, when the mother of that baby learned that the baby she was conceiving was a girl she told her friends that she is going to have a snake soon since she don’t want to have a baby girl anymore, so she called her fetus inside her womb as snake, so when she gave birth, her baby looks like a snake!

Cell Phone Explodes and Burns Off Owner’s Nipple

You often hear of stories how a cell phone can harm people who have heart problems and use pacemakers or that there is radiation in the airwaves that effect the brain. Rarely do you actually consider your cell phone would explode on you.

That is exactly what happened to poor Cai.

“Right after I powered on the cell phone and pressed the button it exploded. My nipple got burned so badly from the explosion”.
20 year-old Cai paid $50 for a second hand cell phone and followed the instruction that the battery needs to be fully charged before use.

Next morning he got out the bed, couldn’t wait to try out his new toy, right after he powered on and he began to press a few buttons, it exploded.

Cai wasn’t wearing any clothing at the time, his left chest got badly burned including his nipple. The cell phone was some “Made in China” local brand with cheap quality and the battery wasn’t even safety certified.

An office girl also bought a similar new cell phone and it exploded as well, her nose was hurt so badly she ended up having to be hospitalized and might need a plastic surgery later.China is famous for cheap products which are often are fake, imitation and even dangerous.

These types of underground factories are everywhere and the government is not regulating it enough.

Check out our previous posts for fake eggs and a brick satellite receiver. You might fine these “Made in China” stories are humorous and unbelievable.

Two sets of sextuplets born just hours apart

This is the extraordinary moment doctors delivered one of new mother Jenny Masche's sextuplets, all born at just 30 weeks and 3lbs or less in weight.

Remarkably, their birth heralded the arrival of the second set of sextuplets in the United States within a day after a 24-year-old woman delivered six of the best late on Sunday in Minnesota after using fertility drugs.

This rare occurrence could become more common as more couples seek artificial methods of conception.

One of Jenny Masche's miraculous deliveries

Jenny sees one of her new arrivals for the first time

About 10 hours after the Minnesota births, 32-year-old Jenny Masche delivered by Caesarean section. Due to their premature birth the babies suffered acute heart failure but are now stable.

They will be named Bailey Elizabeth, Savannah Jane, Molli Grace, Cole Robert, Blake Nickolas and Grant William. The Masches have yet to decide who gets which.

The heart problems were due to the huge volume of blood that Jenny Masche was carrying in her body while pregnant, Doctor John Elliott said at a news conference at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center in Arizona.

The new mother is now stable and is expected to leave the hospital's intensive care unit later today.

Exhausted and wiping tears from his eyes, proud father Bryan Masche said: "I'm very thankful that we had the help of the best physicians, and the best doctors and the best medicine."

The tiny orphaned possum that was rescued after his mother was killed by car

This baby Brushtail possum has had a tough start in life.

Only a few inches in length he has to be fed - carefully - using a tube and a syringe.

After his mother was hit and killed by a car in the outer suburbs of Sydney, Australia, the tiny possum was rescued by Sydney Metropolitan Wildlife, a voluntary organisation that is dedicated to caring for Sydney's sick, injured or orphaned native animals.

Brushtails are among the best known of Australia's possums as they thrive in urban environments and often come into contact with people.

When fully-grown, this lucky little marsupial will grow to around 50cms in length.

Python Eats Pregnant Sheep

September 15, 2006—A fresh lamb dinner might sound like a manageable meal for an 18-foot-long (5.5-meter-long) python. But maybe the hungry snake should have waited for the lamb to be born.

Last week firefighters in the Malaysian village of Kampung Jabor were called in to remove the bloated snake (pictured) from a roadway. The reptile had swallowed an entire pregnant sheep and was too full to slither away and digest its supersize meal.

But the stress of being captured likely triggered the python to purge—it eventually regurgitated the dead ewe.

Pythons are constrictors, meaning they rely on strength, not venom, to kill their prey. About once a week the large snakes ambush a likely meal, grab hold with backward-curving teeth, and wrap around the victim, suffocating it to death. Pythons then open their hinged jaws wide to swallow their prey whole.

Sometimes, though, it seems like the voracious reptiles don't think before they snack. This particular snake isn't the first python to get a tough lesson in the dangers of swallowing oversize prey.

In July a pet Burmese python in Idaho required life-saving surgery to remove a queen-size electric blanket from its digestive tract . And last October a python in the Florida Everglades apparently busted a gut when it tried to make a meal of a 6-foot-long (2-meter-long) American alligator
