I thought this to be an interesting discovery and thought any biology lovers would too, so I wrote my own article on it based on my sources.
A new born baby girl in China was born and was found to be pregnant with twins in her abdomen. The Medical Journal has reported. Scan were taken and in them scans a great amount of mass was found in the baby's abdomen, the doctors assumed it could have been a tumour. New scans revealed the mass was in fact made up of two separate cell structures.
The unborn twins, 8 to 10 weeks gestated, had legs, arms, complete with spines, well-developed rib cages, intestines and embryonic brain tissue. The twins were successful removed from the baby. It is still unknown to what might of have caused this, but there are over 200 cases where are foetus is born in a new born baby.
