The Boy Who Gave Birth to His Twin

The incredible story of seven-year-old Alamjan from Kazakhstan who underwent surgery for a distended stomach that was making him look pregnant. What the doctors discovered inside was reported around the world - Alamjan's own twin was growing inside of him. Known literally as 'a baby inside a baby', the condition is very rare, but its examination leads to insight that a life and death struggle for survival takes place between all twins when they are in the womb.
