Who are we to judge the parents' belief system? Perhaps in their mind she is the incarnation of a deity, not some specimen to be poked, prodded, x-rayed, and surgically altered. Judging from the local response, she will be much better taken care of than if she was born in a western family- if you deem good care meeting her physical and spiritual needs rather than surgically altering her to look more *normal*
