In a modern world like ours today, it is a taboo to marry your blood relative. Though other cultures still find it acceptable to marry a member of the family,genetic abnormalities of their offspring can spell the price of marrying, like for example, your cousin. A couple in Pakistan who are cousins produced an offspring with 6 legs.
The baby was believed to have a parasitic twin who did not develop in the womb due to a rare genetic disorder. A team of 5 doctors already performed an operation to remove his extra limbs. He did very well after the 8 hour operation. The parents were so happy that the operation went very well.
Due the uniqueness of the situation, it has attracted financial sponsorships from the government and other medical institutions. Imran Shaikh, the father is very grateful to those who helped in the successful operation of the baby.
