Chinese baby born with 15 fingers and 16 toes needs surgery

The three-month-old baby, named Hong Hong, was born with 15 fingers and 16 ties, to two migrant Chinese workers from the village of Zhongping, in Pingjiang County of China’s central Hunan Province.

The child suffers from an extreme case of polydactyly which is a congenital physical anomaly that can occur in humans, dogs, and cats giving them a larger number of digits on their hands and feet. They are seeking for financial support to fund  the surgery.
Zou Chenglin, Hong Hong’s father, also disclose that his wife, also has polydactylism.
"My wife has one extra finger and toe on each of her hands and feet, so we were worried that our child would inherit the condition,” Zou said. "But after going to three big hospitals in Shenzhen, doctors found no birth defects on our son during scans.”
