Girl To Have ‘Spare’ Arm Removed

Hey, Red Chinese doctors have been removing “extra” kidneys, livers, &c. from prisoners for years… Nothing new for them.

It’s really not that strange. It’s most likely because of a parasitic twin, see explination from Wikipedia:
A parasitic twin (also known as an asymmetrical or unequal conjoined twin) is the result of the processes that produce vanishing twins and conjoined twins, and may represent a continuum between the two. Parasitic twins occur when a twin embryo begins developing in utero, but the pair does not fully separate, and one embryo maintains dominant development at the expense of the other. Unlike conjoined twins, one ceases development during gestation and is vestigial to a mostly fully-formed, otherwise healthy individual twin. The undeveloped twin is defined as parasitic, rather than conjoined, because it is incompletely formed or wholly dependent on the body functions of the complete fetus.
