A two-headed baby was just delivered to an impoverished family. The parents asked for help for the condition of their child. The infant instantly made the local news. With more mothers giving birth to twins, it can't be helped but be asked, are we mutating now?

Mothers should be aware when they're pregnant. In that case very slim for the babies to survive. It's a very rare phenomenon, the egg splits parcially whereas suppose to be born twin babies lies the change in genetic structure which result in a conjoint form.

Yes, a pregnant woman can never be too careful about the nourishment of her body and her baby.

the two-headed kid its not a mutation is a degeneration made by the lack conscience of the mother, some chemicals can do those kinds of degeneration, the the question that if we are mutating it true the human body has been mutating since the first time we appeared, for example, the most seen mutation is the heigth of the people, the last 2 centuries the global have increased extremely fast, another kind of mutation we have is our respiratory system, the actual air on the would be impossibleto breath to the first humans on earth. so in conclusion that the humans are mutating is true.

Mutation had never been so prevalent as now. I actually enjoy seeing twins, whether fraternal or identical. I just don't like a two headed baby. It wasn't probably due to conscienceless mother. More likely a genetic defect. A mother who had drank some chemicals could have produced a baby with no arms nor legs...

Humans in my opinion have been mutating not only naturally as much as scientifically from experiments used on human research. Look at what happened in Germany, during the world war, trying to produce a super human or what they thought one should be.
We also are mutating naturally, look how tall some of us have become. Wisdom teeth, not everyone will have all of them. The last four that develop I only had three myself. There are changes going on from natural, food additives, chemicals given to animals to increase sizes, and then genetic research, playing in that field.

Yup, mutation is something that dwells away from the normal. I just thought that so many twins are being born instead of single birthing. Now there is a two headed baby which is really scary.
