Sam Esquibel was just three days old when doctors believed they spotted a tumour on his brain and decided to operate. But they were stunned to discover the scans had not detected any ordinary tumour but a tiny perfectly formed foot attached to his brain. Sam also had a partly formed hand thigh and a second foot cut in his head. To find a perfectly formed structure like this is extremely unique unusual borderline unheard of said surgeon Dr. Paul Grabb. It looked like the breach delivery of coming out of the brain. Sam had surgery to remove it in October and is now recovering at home in Colorado US but faces monthly checks for cancer. Doctors are not sure what caused the growth but suspect it was a type of congenital brain tumour or a foetus in foetu a twin growing within its sibling. Sams parents Manuel and Tiffnie are delighted with his recovery. You would never know if he did not have a scar there. This was in Metro newspaper but i have no link. You could probably find it on the net somewhere. Quite mad though.

has it been scientifically proven that that makes any difference? i know far too many inbred families without any problems to think that that could be an issue

It certainly increases the risk, that's for sure.
