Baby born with 3 arms.....picture included

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.

Chen said doctors hoped to work out a plan for surgery, but the boy's small size made it impossible to perform certain tests that would help them prepare.

Media reports said other children have been reported born with additional arms and legs, but in those cases it was clear what limb was more developed.

Chen's hospital is one of China's most experienced in dealing with unusual birth defects, including separating conjoined twins.

Man, Brad, if only you had been born with 3 arms, that "Three Cocks, One Jock" audition would have been yours for the taking

That's so sad. I wish him the best!

Getting uniforms tailored would suck, though.

Well, 1/3rd of the earth's population are Chinese. I guess statistically speaking it's bound to happen from time to time.

I'm wrong. I seen this on the national news and they had video. The 3rd arm looks as formed as the others. Pretty freaky. I hope the lil one makes it thru the surgeries OK.
