This incredible image is a real photo of an infant, named Jie-jie, in Shanghai who was born with a well-developed third arm. According to an Associated Press article, surgeons at Shanghai Children's Medical Center are assessing surgery options. Sadly, Jie-jie is also short a kidney and may have other medical problems. From the AP article:
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. "It's quite difficult to decide how to do the operation on him."
