It's by state or country. A condition that bad though is going to be picked up for the most part by ultrasounds and amnio test. Some doctors would be like compassionate measures only and if parents sign a DNR (pain meds, maybe a bit of oxygen). Then they let nature take its course. More religious states/countries may not have this compassion though.
Can we fucking clone a million Tanias? What an extraordinary human. I’m always humbled by people with such genuine empathy, care and love.
While most babies with alobar HPE come out with lethal deformities, an unlucky few manage to come out just normal enough to avoid croaking right away. Of course, they're still complete potatoes for the entirety of their short lives. The late Pearl Joy Brown is one example.
She sounds disgustingly enthusiastic about having a horribly malformed child. It makes my skin crawl. A normal person would be heartbroken to learn that their child will never become an adult. Yet there are people who seem downright giddy to pump out a tard baby.
I tend to assume that people who behave like that are the kind of attention-whoring assclowns who see all the praise and"support" showered on moms of fucked-up potato babies and are excited to be getting in on that action, because it means people will be kissing their asses and telling them how strong and brave they are. As a bonus, they won't have to deal with all the stresses of raising an actual child, because the baby will never be able to talk back or throw a tantrum or generally be anything other than a prop for them to use in their ploys for attention.
"with a condition similar to hers"?
Actual nuts and bolts? If your kid is obviously impaired enough to go straight to the NICU, the hospital starts the paperwork for you, to get Medicaid started, get you set up for home health and and any home medical equipment you might need before you go home, they get the ball rolling before you ever leave the hospital.
He has an associated genetic disorder, and LOBAR holoprosencephaly is definitely not the same as the alobar variety. It's only a partial nondivision of the brain. Go Keith!
What she wants is for some people to tell her “they told me my kid was going to be XXX and die/severely disabled but was born totally healthy!!” They usually find a few women who will too. They are either totally lying or were to dim to understand what the doctor was actually telling them about the fetus.
Good for that guy finding a challenging physical activity and excelling at it. They mentioned a blind climber too and it occurred to me being blind might be an advantage in rock climbing because your eyes can be a distraction and looking around/down can increase stress when climbing. You’d be a very focused climber only paying attention to the most important aspects - grip security, body stability and feel - but I guess you’d have to memorize climbing route or risk getting stuck.
"Typically, the nose is either missing or replaced with a non-functioning nose in the form of a proboscis. Such a proboscis generally appears above the central eye, or on the back." On...the...back...did nature just go fuck it lets just put it anywhere we already fucked its face up!
Seems perfectly in-character with the God of the Bible to me.
At least a cyclops mermaid is a badass idea for a custom Monster High doll (if theres not already a canon character like that). A real baby like that, not so much.
