Two-faced baby believed to be Hindu goddess

The family of an Indian baby born with two faces has refused special medical treatment for the infant, saying she is the incarnation of Shakti, the Hindu goddess of power, reports Reuters. "The month-old girl suffers from what appears to be craniofacial duplication, an extremely rare congenital disorder in which part of the face is duplicated on the head." The baby has four eyes, two noses and pairs of lips.
