what is unfortunate is that it happens in the first place

Poor child. It won't suffer long I hope. Why would you keep a child that deformed alive?

Take that back....its not. Let me look it up....brb!

MD.

No, I was right initially....it is ichthyosis. Looks to be a pretty severe version, in a harlequin fetus. Basically a rare skin disorder; skin is over keratinized.

Google "harlequin fetus" First link is a good pic....NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.

MD.



damn "I feel lucky" button has a new meaning for me. Is that condition terminal?
