Brazilian baby 'born healthy with two heads... and both are suckling mother's breasts' (Daily Mail)
So...what's the future hold for this child??---
Maria de Nazare gave birth by caesarean at a hospital in Anajas, in Brazil's northern Para state, with her
newborn weighing 9.9lbs.
And in a tribute to the religious celebrations at Christmas, she has decided to call the pair Emanoel and Jesus.

[F]ollowing a number of tests, doctors have revealed that the baby has two brains and two spines but shares one heart, lungs, liver and pelvis.

much more, including picture of the baby, at link aboveNeila Dahas, director of the Santa Casa hospital said: 'If both their brains are functioning, how are we going to choose which head to remove?
'We are not considering the possibility of surgery. What we've got to think about at this moment is to maintain the children in good condition and see how they will develop.'

Remarkably, this is the second time a two-headed baby has been born in Brazil this year. Sueli Ferreira, 27, gave birth to a two-headed baby in Paraiba State, but it died a few hours later because of lack of oxygen to one of the child's heads.
