Indian Baby Born with Parasitic Twin Joined to Stomach

These two newborn babies came into this world with an extremely rare condition called heteropagus, which is the scientific term for parasitic twinning. One of the babies is fully formed with all body parts while the twin is missing a head and thorax. The newborns are connected via the stomach and the malformed twin, while having arms and legs and being able to pass urine, is incapable of eating, drinking, or breathing, is fully dependent on the healthy baby for survival.
