Doctors in India have begun operating on a two-year old girl who was born with four arms and four legs.

Lakshmi Tatma is joined to what is known as a "parasitic twin" which stopped developing in the mother's womb.

The operation to correct the rare condition - known as isciopagus - is expected to take up to 40 hours.


Now I don't feel so bad about not being able to spend Thanksgiving with family. At least none of them are ever likely to need operations that last 2 days.
