I am on a birth board on another website and a woman just had a son who has an extra finger on each hand. She is debating whether to have the extra digit removed and almost everyone is telling her "don't have it removed, it makes him extra special" and that extra digits are "so cute." Am I just a bitch or does this seem really weird? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

op: my sister had an extra one too and my parents did the same - how could you not? it's so not a big deal but letting your kid go to school with extra fingers seems cruel. [ Reply | More ]

There must be a website/support group for people with extra digits - may be worth seeing how those affected by it have dealt with it. Great for the piano I guess. [ Reply | More ]
