Lakshmi, a 2 year old, from Bihar who was born with 2 arms and 6 legs underwent surgery to remove her extra limbs. Lakshmi, of course, was named after the multi-limbed Hindu goddess Lakshmi, a.k.a, the goddess of wealth and viewed as a reincarnation of the same deity in the rural areas where she hailed from. I’m not sure, who’s dumber, the villagers from rural Bihar for making her a reincarnation of a goddess or GMA and ABC News for extrapolating (page 2) that children with deformities are often viewed as reincarnations of gods in rural India.
