This girl:http://amazingdata.com/meet-the-littlest-angel-kenadie-jourdin-bromley/ has me convinced that primordial dwarfism was behind all the old "changeling" legends. Have you ever seen a human being that looked any more like a fairy than her? I bet if she had been born in the middle ages, the first thing to come out of the midwife's mouth would have been "It's a changling!"

I am a NICU nurse and I've only seen this deformation in textbooks - it is incompatible with life and babies born with this deformation usually are dead before birth or die shortly after. Midline deformaties such as this are often connected with other malformations inside the body (internal organs etc.) because certain systems and physical features are developed at the same time in utero.

[–]trollfessor 23 points24 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ive used that phrase "incompatible with life" and have learned that it can really piss off some people.

But the sad reality is that some pregnancies result in a fetus or baby that is, in fact, incompatible with life.

[–]abbyroade 14 points15 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm in medical school, and "incompatible with life" was always how my professors described such deformities.

[–]baconOclock 1 point2 points ago

Do you think that the same mechanisms that sometimes go wrong like in this post are close to the ones that allow the evolution of new traits by spontaneous genetic mutations?

[–]DisRuptive1 6 points7 points ago

Yes, but then again those mutations don't 'go wrong.'

[–]BeforeTime 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't know about this particular deformation, but things like cleft for example has nothing to do with genes, but with something going wrong at some stage of the development of the fetus.

To be fair, the person may have defects, but assuming they can breath and such properly, this would be fairly... Well, normal for them. Their brain would take the input from the single eye and so on, and see through it (presumably), without a whole lot of suffering. Their body developed strangely, but not necessarily painfully.

[–]Cynical_Lurker 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That is assuming that the only deformities are the ones you can see clearly and that there is not more serious problems internally.

[–]PaladinZ 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

But this does come back to the point -- they might not necessarily be painful deformities, assuming they can still eat and breath. I'm simply referring to pain and suffering in this case.

But yes, it's awful.

I never know what to make of him - I do know that he doesn't truly appreciate the content of half of the subreddits he admins, he just wants to push the boundaries of Reddit and find exactly when they censor you; so far it's apparently scantily clothed preteens.

Scantily clothed teens who have reached puberty. No preteens in /r/jailbait. And there's still plenty where that came from.

It was one he launched around the same time as /r/jailbait as a sacrificial lamb (can't remember the name of it right now) - think he knew it would make jailbait seem tame by comparison, and give it a better chance of surviving.

It's holoprosencephaly. The forebrain doesn't split or recombines, forcing everything that should develop out to the side to develop midline. The tube above the eye is the nose that couldn't develop in the correct area because the eyes didnt move out of the way.

Oh my god. Why would the woman's body not spontaneously abort? Nature is cruel.

[–]happybadger 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Because miscarriages are dangerous. There's a lot of potential for uncontrollable haemorrhage if the uterus doesn't shrink properly, and if the foetal tissue isn't completely removed then you risk a uterine infection that will either leave you dead or sterile. Given that quality antibiotics and gauze aren't available in nature, it's only logical that carrying the foetus to term and having a stillborn would be preferable to the risks of spontaneous abortion, as we're actually equipped for the former.

[–]MrFalconFarmsMelons 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Honestly I don't think it matters that much for the fetus, I doubt it ever attained any meaningful sort of consciousness

Edit: Unless you're referring to the cruelty of the parents having to face that eventuality, in which case: cruel indeed, yes.

CTRL+ALT+DEL this is definitely a case for abortion. Yes I believe abortion is a choice and I think it'd be cruel for this child to live, it's probably a good thing it was born dead. I can't help feeling bad for it, never had a chance, poor kid.

[–]netgod2002 11 points12 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Good point! I would like to respectably know how many people can honestly say that abortion shouldn't be an option if a baby is born like this. Not only born like this, but say, born and lives for a period of time.

Is that fair to the child??

It's not to me.

[–]Proditus 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

To be fair, this sort of deformity probably isn't detectable until it's too late. When most people get abortions, the child is no more than a fetal blob.

This child cannot live though. There are some horrible deformities that parents do choose to allow their children to live under, but life is always impossible without a face.

[–]soothfast 11 points12 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Not true. My baby had anencephaly and I had a termination at 14 weeks as there was no hope. They could tell from the ultrasound scan - the skull was not forming properly. They don't do scans so parents can go "aww". They do them SPECIFICALLY to check for defects like this.

[–]Proditus 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

My guess then is that these parents are either heartless monsters or chose to avoid examinations.

I've encountered people in the latter situation far too often. They choose to opt out of all examinations of their child's health because they want things like the gender to be a surprise and the media keeps blathering on about how every new sort of scan will harm your unborn child. I think it's pretty sick; there should probably be some law that forces parents to at least undergo basic examinations for the safety of their child.

[–]OccupyXbox 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

What if this particular deformity became known after the typical cut-off date for abortions but before birth? Do you think exceptions should or could be made for late-term abortions involving fetuses that are incompatible with life?

[–]crumblybutgood 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Great question. The fate of the fetus is roughly the same, because it will die shortly after birth if it isn't aborted. I say do whatever is safer and less traumatic for the parents, but I'd love to hear some thoughts from anti-abortionists.

I suspect it would mostly come down to their stance on euthanasia and how strongly they feel about abortion relative to how strongly they feel about euthanasia. It could be an interesting ethical question for some.

[–]OccupyXbox 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

AFAIK, anti-abortionists would say that the "child" should live out its natural life (I use the word child in quotes as that is how many anti-abortionists refer to an unborn fetus).

I would also be very interested to hear thoughts from anti-abortionists on the issue I presented above.

Personally, if a woman were pregnant with a fetus that, if born, would live a short but incredibly pain-filled life, I would think the only humane option is abortion. The child will live a life that is only pain and the parents' only memories of the child would be its horrific pain followed by death. Better for all involved to abort.

[–]mapoftasmania 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This kind of deformity is detectable at the start of the second trimester with a blood test. It would also be plainly visible on an anatomical ultrasound. There is no reason to bring this to term.

Things like these make me wonder if babies feel pain in the womb, and if so, did this hurt for them?

I have to ask, what is that fleshy flagellum above its eye?

[–]boxwell 1 point2 points ago

Its nose. It's forced to develop there because the eyes are set in the midline.

Okay... How do I put this? This is a tragic case and I do feel terribly for both the child and his family for having to endure what must be overwhelming suffering as a consequence of the deformity. All that having been said, and said with honesty, after a minute of looking at the kid, I couldn't help seeing him as kinda cute.

Well evolutionary mutations are usually bad. I heard this from the science channel that a mutation is like taking a hammer to the engine of a sports car, in most cases it does harm, but on rare occasions it's good like the people who are immune to HIV AIDS.

Horrifying, i feel sad for the person but is there any better reason to allow abortion and make prenatal screening mandatory after a certain age? Sounds harsh maybe but really, must someone go through life like this?

Dear OP,

I want to sincerely apologize. Despite being warned that this is NSFL, I clicked, as I can usually handle it. I find this so awful and repugnant that I've downvoted it to try and stop others from ever seeing it, for the greater good. It's a great post for WTF, so I feel bad about doing this, but I feel it must be done.

Imma find a bunch of other shit you posted and upvote it regardless of content to make up for it. Sorry again. I've never before downvoted a post that so effectively did what it set out to do in a manner appropriate for the subreddit.

Sincerely, sllewgh
