Doctors in Shanghai on Tuesday were considering surgery options for a 2-month-old boy born with an unusually well-formed third arm.

Neither of the boy's two left arms is fully functional and tests have so far been unable to determine which was more developed, said Dr. Chen Bochang, head of the orthopedics department at Shanghai Children's Medical Center.

"His case is quite peculiar. We have no record of any child with such a complete third arm," Chen said in a telephone interview.

The boy, identified only as "Jie-jie," also was born with just one kidney and may have problems that could lead to curvature of the spine, local media reports said. Jie-jie cried when either of his left arms was touched, but smiled and responded normally to other stimuli, the reports said.

Poor wee lad. But just imagine how cool it would be if he develops proper independent motion in both of those left arms. He'd be amazing at videogames


Although does anyone else smell something fishy about this... ? That baby looks a bit big for a 3month old... full head o'hair like

The first thing that came to my mind when I read this is that boss in Mortal Kombat with loads of arms.

If I was born with 2 heads or 3 nuts I'd probably be a bit miffed but I reckon that 3rd arm thing would be pretty nifty (presuming I could use it properly of course).

My missus has 3 kidneys, not really as cool as having 3 arms though.

Honey, the human race can laugh at anything

Just look at aids. Bastard of a disease, kills people slowly over years. Yet I've laughed my ass off at it on sout park several times. It's human nature to try and fight what scares us. Laughter is just another way of fighthing. Most practical imo, I wouldn't like to see some lad goin' around kickin' the crap out of people with aids, or doctors lampin' defective babys at walls. Just wouldn't be right.
