A baby born with anencephaly is usually blind, deaf, unconscious, and unable to feel pain. Although some individuals with anencephaly may be born with a main brain stem, the lack of a functioning cerebrum permanently rules out the possibility of ever gaining consciousness. Reflex actions such as breathing and responses to sound or touch occur.[2]

Very disturbing treatment here. Something to take comfort in is that there is no conscious suffering going on. I mean, even as a healthy infant, do you remember anything?

To the members who are cracking jokes at this poor child's expense.
It breaks my heart to see some of the appalling, immature, and truly disgusting comments some of you have made here today.
It makes me feel ashamed that you are even allowed membership on the same forum. Seriously, do you think you're funny by posting garbage like that?
I bet you wouldn't be laughing and cracking jokes if you had a child born with this affliction or any other deformity. What the hell is wrong with you. People like you make me sick and deserve a quick and painful trip to whatever underworld you believe in.
I'm sorry for this rant but for reasons I'm not going to get into, this subject hits very close to home for me and I cannot just sit by and say nothing to these ignorant f***s

the second one, the baby is holding its own head up. That makes me think it may be a hoax? New born babies can not hold up their heads.edit on 13-4-2011 by amatrine because: (no reason given)
