In the news, on the web

An article about a girl born in India last month with two faces. Rather than being scorned or despised, she's being hailed as a reincarnation of Durga, the Hindu goddess of valor. She is apparently not suffering any of the health problems that usually accompany craniofacial duplication.

"20 Minutes" calls him a musical savant. I call Derek Paravicini still more proof of not judging the inner workings or the heart of a person by her/his dis/ability.

She is so lucky to be born in a country where they are rejoicing over her, instead of being born in China where they kill children just for being girls or here where abortion is the answer for so many women.
