THE GIRL WITH TWO FACES: A BODYSHOCK SPECIAL

September 15th, 2008 by Lisa McGarry.

In early March 2008, a miracle occurred in remote, rural India. Against odds of 50 million to one, a baby, seemingly in perfect health, was born with not one but two faces. The news spread rapidly and, on hearing about this extraordinary baby girl, just days after her birth, BodyShock began following the amazing journey of baby Lali.

Over 2,000 km away, a doctor in Bangalore hears of Lali’s case and is very interested to see what his hospital can do for her. Can Lali’s parents reconcile their mistrust of modern medicine with their desire to keep their daughter alive and healthy?
