BEIJING, CHINA - SEPTEMBER 1: (CHINA OUT) An expert inspects the X-ray film of one-year-old Wei Wei, a young child with three legs and both female, male reproductive organs, at the Dongzhimen Hospital on September 1, 2005 in Beijing, China. Wei Wei was abandoned by parent at a temple in Yongnian County of Hebei Province and found by farmer Han Fuzhong last year. Han adopted the child but could not afford to foster him/her because of poverty. He has begged on streets with the baby to make a living. Helped by China Social Work Association, Han Fuzhong has brought Wei Wei to Beijing to undergo treatment. Experts have finished initial examination of the child and expect to carry out the operations in the middle of this month. Doctors will cut the excrescent leg of Wei Wei and change the hermaphrodite child into a girl. (Photo by China Photos/Getty Images)
