The ghost face behind the back of the man confused the medicine

The front is extremely beautiful, behind Edward Mordake's head (England) has a second face with full parts.

The phrase "two-sided" is not only used to talk about personality, but also represents a dreaded disease of mankind. Diprosopus ("double-sided" in Latin) is a rare genetic defect . Unlike Polycephaly that causes humans or animals to be born with 2 heads, Diprosopus affects the upper part of the face. The patient sometimes appears with a new nose, an ear or a new face like the case of Edward Mordake. In the encyclopedia of medicine Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine by Dr. George M. Gould and Walter L. Pyle published in 1896, Mordake is described as "one of the most bizarre and grievous malformations".

According to Mysterious Universe, Mordake was born in the mid-19th century in a wealthy British noble family. He is a proficient scholar and a talented musician. The frontal appearance was extremely beautiful, and behind Mordake's head came the face of another man. Some say that the "evil twin brother" is female, but the duo author George M. Gould and Walter L. Pyle consider this impossible because every parasite twins carry the same sex. count.

The ugly second face occupies only a small part of the back of the man's skull but still shows signs of intelligence, can laugh or mock when Mordake cries. The eyes follow the people around them, the couple "move constantly" without making a sound. However, Mordake revealed that he often suffered insomnia because of the whisper of the "evil twin brother".

Unable to withstand the evil disease, Mordake, despite his life, begs the two Manvers and Treadwell doctors to remove the second face from his body, but no one is brave enough to do so. Desperate, he lived in seclusion, refusing to meet even family members. Finally, the young man committed suicide by poisoning at the age of 23. According to his will, he was buried in a wasteland, with no stones or anything.

With a second expression of emotion, tears and even whispers, Mordake became a strange case that still has many unknowns. Many people question the authenticity of records because normally Diprosopus leads to a series of other serious complications, such as a lack of a brain part, neural tube defects or heart failure, which causes premature babies to live a long time. Short time. In 2008, in the village of Sunpura Sohanpur near New Delhi (India), Lali Signh was born with four eyes, two nose, two mouths. She was regarded by the villagers as the reincarnation of the goddess Durga in Hinduism until the day of her death. At that time, Lali was only 2 months old.

In both humans and animals, the effect of Diprosopus is extremely serious. With advances in gene research, scientists hope that in the future Diprosopus patients will receive treatment instead of being ridiculed, discriminated against and hated.
