A deformed child was born in Iran on Sunday, the Tehran Times reported, quoting the director of Bent-ol-Hoda Hospital as saying the child had a normal head but a torso like a fish. 

She added that the hands of the child were like the fins of a fish and had no elbows.  

Salmanian said that the child weighed 1.95 kilograms.  

The child was born after only 33 weeks of pregnancy and was the first child of a 22-year-old woman. The sex of the child was unclear, because the baby was born with no genital organs, she added – Albawaba.com
