Doctors were successful in re-shaping the deformed skull of Liu Jing, a 9-year-old Chinese boy:
A combo picture shows Liu Jing before and after a surgery to reconstruct his deformed skull at a hospital in Xiamen, East China's Fujian Province, August 2, 2007. Liu Jing, 9, suffering from hydrocephalus at his birth and later the deformed skull, received a 13-hour surgery on July 15, 2007 and is in stable situation now, Xinhua said.
This is Red China after all. Consider it good fortune that he didn't (ahem) "die in surgery" so that he organs could be harvested for transplant.

Maybe this boy was brought to Earth "to serve man"... he's highly evolved, and knows where the best delicacies in the universe lie.
