I rented A Lovesong For Bobby Long, Closer, and Coupling Season 4 -- though I can't remember if I'd already seen Season 3 or not

Did they successfully take off the second head? If so was it able to live on it's own, or was it just a head?

Yes, they removed the second head. It was the first time a baby had ever survived a surgery like that (but only the 10th time in recorded history a birth defect like that had ever been recorded.) Oprah flew the mom, baby, and entire surgical team from Egypt to be on the show.

It was a head and then sort of a neck, or actually some shriveled attempt at what would have been the head's body. It was completely dependant on the baby to survive, but it had a face and would cry and smile and just... very disturbing to see.

Yea, I think I would have been squeamish watching that too. *shivers*
