Operation begins on Indian girl with eight limbs

Not having the surgery would be life threatening, but I’m always struck by our drive for normalcy in other areas of life, particularly in terms of language, education, identity, body image, fashion, etc. that this situation stood out. Difference can still have mythologic importance in the world, and people who are difference can be treasured and rejoyced. There’s not enough of that.
