A Century of Medical Oddities

well i guess i can live with being (demented) cause quite frankly i do not care and so everyone knows i am a christian and i have friends that are satanist and those who believe niether,doesn't matter to me,if they are good in their heart then believe what you want cause i do not care, as for medical science,i do not trust that at all, and another thing i forgot to say was i think god is real but evolution is too, but thats me,fact is that no one will be able to prove that either is real till we die and at that point we can't tell anyone,again medical science could do so much more than it does but like i said the suffering in this world is caused by stupid humans,greedy for money and everyone on here could agree to one thing that the last cure "that i am aware of anyway" was for polio and that was what in the 50's,everyone who could make a cure will never make it because of the pure fact that if like aids is gone so is the meds for it thus losing billions of dollars on the meds,after a cure is made then they lose their jobs,all about money and greed,i mean health in the united states sucks, we are a greedy stuck up country full of crime and hate and we are not a very good country becauses of us,that being said were still the best country and i love this country but i know we can be better if we got rid of alot of stupid laws,or at least update alot of them to the real world, and changed alot of things,but as i know most of what i say goes against probably every religion and i feel right about it so i don't care,fact is evil is evil and good is good,no religion will change that.

And this is exactly why comment sections shouldn't exist! The lovely people at Newsweek give us amazing pictures of medical oddities, and in return, we give them pages of mostly incoherent religious arguement, pretentious grammar corrections, and *** jokes! And honestly, the *** jokes were the least offensive. Why you ask? Because God hates it when people correct the grammar of strangers. He told me so.

i am also a member of the lds church and also believe that god does things as a reason and not as a punishment. but some people do not think the same way. they believe that god has punished them. i believe that if you look into the church you will be amazed by what you can learn. that is also for any church. god also does not discremenate against what your religion is, because some people are brought up that way............

Wow, thank you to everyone who has offered such informative comments. The internet, properly used, can provide quite and education. You almost compensate for the embarrassing percentage of the species who cannot keep religious discussion in the church. I was frustrated and disappointed to find so many bible references to sort through in my persuit of information. Here I thought we were discussing science. Although, I suppose, religion is a phenomenon all by itself. Thank you, kestrall88. I was starting to feel lonely in my sanity.

I know that the initial topic was not religion but since we are on the subject. That is an interesting question you posed. I also believe that God is just and would never want to condemn innocent people. ? Think of all of the children who have died with out even knowing who Jesus Christ is. In the LDS church we believe that God gives people who have never had the chance to accept the gospel in life the chance to accept his gospel after death. In fact in 1 Peter 4:6 in King James Version of the bible (which is one of the most widely used amongst all Christian faiths) it says ??? For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might also be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.??? God loves us, and he would never want to be separated from us. He wants us to hear the truth. Yes everyone does say that they belong to the true church, and yes it is difficult to know which one is true. If anyone wants you to find Gods true gospel it is God, he knows everything I???m sure if you ask him he will tell you? Find some LDS missionaries hear what they have to say and ask God through prayer if it is true. That is how I found my way? Good luck to you my friend. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Life, death, good, evil, belief, disbelief... We are what we make ourselves, religion should never have been brought up regarding this topic. This article is only to showcase medical oddities, nothing more and nothing less. It does not portray an act of cruelty by some divine being, it show's in one case how odd the human body can be. It show's how under certain circumstances the human body, does many different things; from laterally conjoined twins and the severely drooping eyelid of a young woman to a microscopic mite found to live on horses. At no point during the presentation or article did they mention God, nor did they mention religion in any way, shape or form. Those of you who brought this up should feel selfish for bringing, nay forcing religion into this. Please relook your priorities and think about what you post, you get angry when someone puts their beliefs into the open, yet you do the same only to prove that your more right than those prior. It's sickening to think that centuries of puritanical religous control has brought people to believe that they must be more right than any one else. It's Science, Medical Science not a church service or someones sermon; it's an article on medical science and might I add a very unusual but interesting article, well worth seeing and reading the captions of.

Comment: Oh, thanks very much to everyone who has offered such kind of imformative comments like this. The internet can be used to provide quite and education. People compentsate for the embarrassing of the species they cannot keep their religious discussion in the church. I was so disappointed to find so many bible references to sort through in their persuit of imformation. lastly i thought they are discussing science. Although, religion is a phenomenon all by theirself. Thank you, Jeano8. I was starting to feel sick in my office.

I totally agree with Mona . Religion or Believes are In your own sole. God is not all that petty to judge like us HUMANS . Thats why he is the creator of Heavens and Earth . And by the way we cant even produce our own breaths if it is not His will . Dr . M . Tayyab Mirza ...

So Sue, your to say that "god" is gonna send all the non-believers to hell for not accepting into ones heart. On that note i arise with the question, what about all those people who've been spoon fed to believe in another religion or teaching? What about those who have never heard "the good word." In which case brings me to the point that if god were all good, and all knowing he wouldn't send those who are ignorant to hell for simply not having heard or the chance to know.

Religion is like playing russian rroulette, except you only have one chance to make it right. -- Applying least in the sense of a couple religions I know of.
How does anyone know that the spoon fed religion the have taken in, is the right religion. On that note, "I just know." works for some people, but in a world where the only two things for sure in life are death and uncertainty, i can't just know.

all i would like to say is certain individuals should be ASHAMED of themselfves!!! THESE PICS WERE PUT UP TO INFORM!!! NOT TO START ARGUMENTS ON CREATIONISM OR EVOLUTION!!! HOW BOUT YOU ALL KEEP YPUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF...AND THE REST OF US WILL ENJOY THE REAL INTENTION OF THESE PHOTOGRAPHS!!!!
