I just finished reading this story..

Baby Born In Bay Area With 12 Functioning Fingers, 12 Toes (http://www.ktvu.com/news/18608582/detail.html#-)

Personally I think it is awesome. Generally when people are born with extra digits they are half formed or don't always function and not always present on all the limbs.. but this is not the case here.

In my opinion this is evolution at work. I have always asked myself how would we as humans evolve over time if any time someone has something different we "correct" it.

I know that life will be hard; gloves, stares of other people but can you imagine the possibilities of extra fingers? Even just typing would be interesting!


Hopefully the parents will choose to let him keep them and decide later what we wants to do. It seems like they don't intend to change them for now :)

=D It's like the doctor in the article says. Imagine if this child were to take up piano or classical guitar. =D

In my opinion this is evolution at work.
agreed :)

I didn't know it was a dominant trait 'til last year when I took chemistry, and looking up on Wikipedia showed me that it's more common in black males (........and I'm a black male), even though I don't have it.

Wow that is amazing...I really do hope he keeps them too, it's weird at first but just think of what he could do.

lol anyways as a new mom I'm always saying to myself, "I wish I had another arm"

That's crazy! But at least they are fully functional...and he is healthy! That is pretty cool.

there was a kid in cuba back a few years ago who had six fingers and could throw things no one else could dream of.... be nice sometimes to have an extra or two.. toes might be an issue shoe-wise though
