    I was thinking the EXACT same thing, but I was just going to post "Hey, I said 12-inch pianist."

    Would you have corrective surgery? Kind of tough finding six-fingered gloves.

    So make a six-fingered glove. You don't have to treat it like an unwanted defect that must be corrected. Hell, if the extra digits are fully functional and coordinated with the others there's a lot of areas (piano, guitar, pitching, etc.) where this might be give some advantage. Why not do like Tom Dempsey did and use your birth abnormality for all it's worth.

    If the doctors said it was medically necessary to have the surgery then yes, but if not, then no.
