A 22-year-old woman has given birth to a baby boy with two heads in southwestern Bangladesh who has been placed under police protection because of the curiosity his birth has caused among locals. Baby Kiron was born by caesarean section on Monday at a clinic in Keshobpur, 85 miles from the capital, Dhaka, and weighed 12 lbs 1 oz. Doctors believe that he was born from one embryo but there was a developmental anomaly that caused the infant to develop two heads.

A study by the Kaiser Family Foundation released Tuesday said 7 percent of adults in the U. S. tie the knot to have access to insurance. Experts were not surprised by the finding as the Kaiser report showed the number of uninsured in the U. S. , currently 47 million, are even increasing in number. Over 8 of 10 uninsured come from families with incomes below 200 percent of the 2006 federal poverty level of $41,000 for a family of four.
