Baby has body parts removed from brain

Logged into MSN when I came home, and found this bit of news that I found rather entertaining to the thoughts:

"A two-month-old baby boy had surgery to remove a foot and other body parts from inside his brain shortly after his birth."




A rare case of 'fetus in fetu', apparently. It has been known in some cases for an entire human-like fetus to develop inside the body of another. Interestingly then it be considered alive but usually at the risk of the host body. I wonder if that constitutes murder, manslaughter, abortion, or what?

One to ponder, I think...
