Miracle op for 8-limb toddler

In India, Bangalore has been an incredible operation. A two years old girl is operated. The special operation was about to eliminate two legs and two arms. The little girl was born with 4 legs and four arms, so eight limbs. Her parents thought about it as a miracle. They named their daughter after the Hindu goddess of love and wealth, who is traditionally depicted with four arms and up to four legs. Of course they realized that their daughter could not live like this. Another point is that they had not enough money to pay the operation, but one doctor took it as a personal interest in this unique case. Now the little girls has been operated and it all went well.


What do i think of it?
I really find this amazing, how good we are developed that we can do things like this. The girl is born with 4 arms and 4 legs, and now she can live a normal life with just two arms and two legs like normal people. I think as a parent it is very difficult to have a child like this because you do not expect such a thing. But they keep it anyway and now she is operated, I really find this a wonder that nowadays doctors can do this. Everyday I am more surprised what we can do in the world, things like this are good things but there are also so many thing which are bad for the world.
