What? What? WHAT?
A pediatric neurosurgeon says a tumor he removed from the brain of a Colorado Springs infant contained a tiny foot and other partially formed body parts.
Dr. Paul Grabb said he operated on Sam Esquibel at Memorial Hospital for Children after an MRI showed a microscopic tumor on the newborn’s brain. Sam was 3 days old and otherwise healthy.
Grabb said that while removing the growth, he discovered it contained a nearly perfect foot and the formation of another foot, a hand and a thigh.
Oh man! It’s the Dark Half!
Don’t let him write any books when he grows up.
I like PZ’s take on this.
Next time some fundam anti-choicer gets in your face, ask them whether they think this partially formed “fetus” should be left in the kid’s brain? After all, look at the widdle toes! It’s a bay-beeeeee! Has this teratoma been ensouled?
Thanks to Oliver I no longer have to buy a National Enquirer at the supermarket. Money saved to pay the mortgage!

uhh, bozo, it’s a real story. It’s not like Oliver is talking about batboy or something..
Bonus points for the first poster at PZ’s place bringing up Kuato…
Has this teratoma been ensouled?
His name is Terry, and he’s evil.
