Three-legged and two-hearted George Lippert was born in Germany in 1844.

George claimed his third leg was fully grown and fully functional. He made a living showing off his extra limbs, but his fame was short-lived after another three-legged man appeared in Italy. Afterwards, he lived in poverty until he died of tuberculosis.

Jasmine Tridevil is a massage therapist in Florida who recently spent $20,000 on surgery to create a third breast. Since then, she has been sharing pictures and videos of her uniqueness. But there have been many accusations that this is a hoax.

Deepak Kumar Paswan, also known as "octo-boy," was born in India with four arms and four legs. His birth brought much commotion because many believed he was the incarnation of Vishnu, an Indian god. While some people called him a freak, a scientist revealed that he had a parasitic twin growing from his chest. Deepak has had surgery to remove his extra limbs and lives his life like any other boy.

KangKang was born in China with an abnormality called transverse facial cleft, which gave him the appearance of having two faces. His family saved enough money for surgery to cure the abnormality. The results are unknown.

Abigail and Brittany Hensel were born with two heads but one body. It is said they have separate hearts, stomach and spine. Although their organs might be separate, it takes much coordination for them to walk or clap. This is because they control separate sides of their body.








희귀한 인체를 가진 사람들

조지 리퍼트는 1884년 독일에서 세 개의 다리와 두 개의 심장을 갖고 태어났다. 조지에 의하면 자신의 3번째 다리는 똑같이 성장하고 완벽한 기능을 갖췄다고 한다. 그는 자신의 추가적인 신체 부분을 이용해서 돈을 벌었지만, 곧 이탈리아에서 새로운 3다리 남자가 나타나면서 인기를 잃었다. 그는 이후 빈곤에 살다가 결핵으로 죽었다.

제스민 트라이데빌은 플로리다에 사는 마시지 치료사이며 최근 2,000만원의 돈을 들여 3개의 가슴을 갖는 수술을 했다고 한다. 이 후 그녀는 온라인에 사진과 비디오 등을 올리면서 자신의 특별함을 과시하고 있다. 하지만 몇몇 사람들은 그녀가 거짓말을 하고 있다는 추측을 하고 있다.

디팍 쿠마 파스완 또는 문어 아이라고 불리는 아이는 인도에서 태어났다. 그의 탄생은 그 지역에서 파장을 일으켰고, 많은 사람들이 그가 인도 신중 한명인 비슈누의 환생이라고 믿었다. 반면 많은 사람들이 그를 괴물이라고 놀리자 그의 부모는 과학적 검사를 받은 후 디팍의 가슴에서 기생식 쌍둥이가 자라고 있다는 것을 발견하였다. 디팍은 현재 추가적인 신체부위를 절단하는 수술을 받았고 다른 아이들처럼 평범한 삶을 즐기고 있다고 한다.

캉캉은 중국에서 두 개의 얼굴을 가지고 있는 것 같이 보이는 트랜스버스 페이셜 클래프트라는 병을 갖고 태어났다. 그의 가족은 최근 이런 기형을 치료하기 위해 충분한 돈을 모아 수술을 받은 것으로 알려져 있다. 수술의 성공여부는 알려져 있지 않다.

에비게일과 브리트니 헨셀은 두 개의 머리와 하나의 몸을 갖고 태어났다. 그들은 각각 심장, 위, 척추 등 중요 장기를 따로 갖고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 그들의 장기만 따로 존재할 뿐 자신 쪽의 몸밖에 움직일 수 없기 때문에 걷거나 박수를 치는 등의 행위를 이행하기 위해서는 엄청난 협동심이 필요하다고 한다
