The Two-Headed Dog." created by Soviet scientist Dr. Vladimir Demikhov in a transplanting experiment, is shown being fed by unidentified laboratory assistants in a file photo made here on 4-15-59. At the time the dog had lived 20 days in that state. Dr. Demikhov says that "Pirate," an Alsatian Wolfhound, lived for nearly a month with the second head, that of a mongrel puppy, on its shoulders. He states that such experiments are aimed at ultimately achieving the ability to transplant healthy organs to replace diseased ones in humans.
