OH MY GOD

I have never seen or heard anything like this before. I remember some cases where they took out a fetus only a couple of inches long from a guy's leg (his twin), and another one where they took out a twin from a guy's head, again, very tiny.

But this, this is out of this world, very ALIEN like.

You HAVE to watch the video (link on the left of the page linked above). They don't show much, but literally the last 1-2 seconds you see the twin's arm and hand, and it looks completely like they show it on green little aliens, with these bony fingers and narrow, long and thick claw like nails

"A Pregnant Man? Another Person Lived Inside a Man for Nearly Four Decades Aug. 23, 2006 — Sanju Bhagat's stomach was once so swollen he looked nine months pregnant and could barely breathe. Living in the city of Nagpur, India, Bhagat said he'd felt self-conscious his whole life about his big belly. But one night in June 1999, his problem erupted into something much larger than cosmetic worry. An ambulance rushed the 36-year-old farmer to the hospital. Doctors thought he might have a giant tumor, so they decided to operate and remove the source of the bulge in his belly. "Basically, the tumor was so big that it was pressing on his diaphragm and that's why he was very breathless," said Dr. Ajay Mehta of Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai. "Because of the sheer size of the tumor, it makes it difficult [to operate]. We anticipated a lot of problems." Mehta said that he can usually spot a tumor just after he begins an operation. But while operating on Bhagat, Mehta saw something he had never encountered. As he cut deeper into Bhagat's stomach, gallons of fluid spilled out — and then something extraordinary happened. "To my surprise and horror, I could shake hands with somebody inside," he said. "It was a bit shocking for me." Removing the Mutated Body One doctor recalled that day in the operating room. "He just put his hand inside and he said there are a lot of bones inside," she said. "First, one limb came out, then another limb came out. Then some part of genitalia, then some part of hair, some limbs, jaws, limbs, hair." Inside Bhagat's stomach was a strange, half-formed creature that had feet and hands that were very developed. Its fingernails were quite long. "We were horrified. We were confused and amazed," Mehta said. A Mutated Body Within a Body At first glance, it may look as if Bhagat had given birth. Actually, Mehta had removed the mutated body of Bhagat's twin brother from his stomach. Bhagat, they discovered, had one of the world's most bizarre medical conditions — fetus in fetu. It is an extremely rare abnormality that occurs when a fetus gets trapped inside its twin. The trapped fetus can survive as a parasite even past birth by forming an umbilical cordlike structure that leaches its twin's blood supply until it grows so large that it starts to harm the host, at which point doctors usually intervene. According to Mehta, there are fewer than 90 cases of fetus in fetu recorded in medical literature. Fetus in fetu happens very early in a twin pregnancy, when one fetus wraps around and envelops the other. The dominant fetus grows, while the fetus that would have been its twin lives on throughout the pregnancy, feeding off its host twin like a kind of parasite. Usually, both twins die before birth from the strain of sharing a placenta. Sometimes, however, as in Bhagat's case, the host twin survives and is delivered. What makes his case so unusual is that no one suspected Bhagat had a twin inside him for 36 years. Bhagat said he was very much relieved after his operation. He was not interested in knowing what Mehta did to him or seeing what he had removed from his abdomen. "He didn't want to see it because it was looking very ghastly," Mehta said. Avoiding the Gory Details There was no placenta inside Bhagat — the enveloped parasitic twin had connected directly to Bhagat's blood supply. Right after the surgery, Bhagat's pain and inability to breathe disappeared and he recovered immediately. The case may have been a medical miracle to doctors, but to Bhagat his condition had been a source of shame and misery. All his life, people in the village where he lived had mercilessly teased him and told him he looked pregnant. Ironically, they were right in a way. Today Bhagat is in good health and leads a normal life, but he still gets teased occasionally. "They still ridicule him. What they say is, you went for an operation and you had the baby," Mehta said. "

It actually brought me to tears. And watch the video for it too; you will see a twin punching it's twin in the stomach in a 3D moving scan!

I saw a special on this on Discovery Health. Its called Disappearing Twins and they rerun it often.

They pulled a twin out of the belly of a young Khazak boy and disected it. It was pretty much a basketball sized piece of skin with malformed hands and feet and really long hair. Disturbing as shit.

Check it out if you get a chance.

Zeus ate one of his wives to stop her from having a child that would potentially overthrow him, but he ended up giving birth to Athena who burst out of his head.



Later Zeus had a child with a mortal women, which would have caused the child to only be a demi god. But Hera tricked the mortal into seeing Zeus in his full glory, which burned up his body leaving the undeveloped child exposed. His sewed the child into his thigh to let it finish growing, and birthed it too.



His feminine balance helped him rule and end the cycle of children overthrowing their fathers generations.

I guess it was just the ancient greeks version of this:

Just when you think it couldn't get any more bizarre, it does!

I saw the story on the woman who is her own twin when it aired on ABC. There is actually a CSI episode based on this phenomenon.

8/24/2006 10:02:31 PM

I really don't want to watch a video of this. I imagine it's super fucking disgusting/depressing.

anyway, the twin was fucking hairy and shit... sends shivers down my spine

8/25/2006 3:59:48 PM

Fetus in fetu is really rare, I think there are only about 100 documented cases in all of medical history

8/25/2006 4:10:30 PM

thats still fucking creepy

8/25/2006 4:13:58 PM

As for the woman that is her own twin, I saw someone similar to her at Crabtree. In her tv special, they show a mixed child that is black on one side and white on the other. I saw a man almost entirely like that at crabtree (the back of his arms were white, while the front of his arms were black and his face was black with white trim and a white neck). His skin was beautiful and did not suggest any burn damage.

8/25/2006 4:31:58 PM

chimerism is extremely rare. What's most likely is that he had Vitiligo, a skin condition that causes white patches on the body

It's more visible in black ppl because of their darker skin. Supposedly Michael Jackson had this disease. Sometimes black people with Vitilago get "lightening" treatments to lighten their dark skin and make the white spots less visible. That's what MJ did.

8/25/2006 4:48:27 PM

just kidding, but it was strange how it was almost a line going down his body.

8/26/2006 3:41:15 PM

2 pounds of hair

jesus fucking christ thats crazy

so the baby was his dead twin?

8/26/2006 3:49:54 PM

yup
