Ethiopian doctors have successfully performed a surgery on a girl with eight limbs recently in the country's capital Addis Ababa. It is the first case of such surgery performed by native doctors in Ethiopia. ¿¡Æ¼¿ÀÇǾÆÀÇ ÀÇ»çµéÀÌ ÃÖ±Ù ¼öµµ ¾Æµð½º¾Æ¹Ù¹Ù¿¡¼ ÆÈ´Ù¸®°¡ 8°³ ´Þ¸° ¼Ò³à¿¡ ´ëÇÑ ¼ö¼ú¿¡ ¼º°øÇß´Ù. ¿¡Æ¼¿ÀÇÇ¾Æ Ãâ½Å ÀÇ»çµéÀÌ ÀÚ±¹¿¡¼ ÀÌ·¯ÇÑ ¼ö¼ú¿¡ ¼º°øÇÑ °Ç óÀ½ÀÌ´Ù.
Seventeen-year-old Werkitu Dababa was born a "parasitic twin" with four arm and four legs. Among the eight limbs, two are underdeveloped arms and two are legs protruding from her pelvis. This deformity only occurs one in half million births. ¿Àϰö »ìÀÎ ¿þ¸£Å°Åõ ´Ù¹Ù¹Ù ¾çÀº ÆÈ 4°³, ´Ù¸®°¡ 4°³ÀÎ ¡®±â»ý ½ÖµÕÀÌ(parasitic twin)¡¯·Î ž´Ù. 8°³ÀÇ ÆÈ´Ù¸® Áß¿¡´Â ¹ßÀ°ÀÌ ºÒ¿ÏÀüÇÑ ÆÈ 2°³¿Í °ñ¹Ý¿¡¼ Æ¢¾î³ª¿Â ´Ù¸® 2°³°¡ Æ÷ÇԵŠÀÖ´Ù.

"I thought that everybody was just like me when I was a kid. But I began to realize that I was different from others when people made fun of my appearance in my third and fourth grade. I could not take the mocking any more after my seventh grade and I dropped out of school. I have been staying at home since then," said Werkitu Dababa. #[¿þ¸£Å°Åõ ´Ù¹Ù¹Ù] ¡°¾î·ÈÀ» ¶§¿¡´Â ¸ðµç »ç¶÷ÀÌ ³ª¿Í ºñ½ÁÇÏ´Ù°í »ý°¢Çß¾ú´Ù.

Parasitic twins occur when a twin embryo begins developing in utero, but the pair do not fully separate, and one embryo maintains dominant development at the expense of the other. ±â»ý ½ÖµÕÀÌ´Â ½ÖµÕÀÌ ¹è¾Æ°¡ Àڱà ³»¿¡¼ ¼ºÀåÀ» ½ÃÀÛÇÏ¸é¼ µÑÀÌ ¿ÏÀüÈ÷ ºÐ¸®µÇÁö ¾ÊÀ» ¶§ ¹ß»ýÇÑ´Ù.

The undeveloped twin is defined as parasitic because it is incompletely formed or wholly dependent on the body functions of the complete fetus. ½ÖµÕÀÌ Áß Á¦´ë·Î ¼ºÀåÇÏÁö ¸øÇÑ ÇÑ ÂÊÀº ±× ÇüŰ¡ ºÒ¿ÏÀüÇϰųª, ¶Ç´Â ¿Ïº®ÇÑ Å¾ÆÀÇ ½Åü ±â´É¿¡ ÀüÀûÀ¸·Î ÀÇÁ¸Çϱ⠶§¹®¿¡ ¡®±âÇü¡¯À¸·Î Á¤ÀǵȴÙ.
