chaotic_nippleDoctors 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.
