Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Doctors in Indonesia said Thursday they were unsure whether they would be able to operate on a two-headed baby, who was born earlier this week.The medical team at the Pelni Petamburan Hospital in Jakarta is still deciding how to treat the baby, hospital spokeswoman Dyah Purwanti was quoted by AFP as saying.The baby girl was born after a caesarian operation on August 8 "in a healthy condition ... and with complete organs" said Purwanti.The newborn -- officially called a dicephalus baby -- was formed the same way as Siamese twins but only has one body, one set of organs and two arms and legs, doctors said.Several pairs of Siamese twins born in Indonesia have undergone successful separation operations.
