What pisses me off is that there are nutjobs who post videos of babies with HI and explain that the condition is a result of depleted uranium the US puts into its shells in combat situations. I love to remind the fuckwads who post that conspiracy bullshit that the first case of HI was reported in the US in 1750

Nobody survives it when its as severe as these pictures. Heartbreaking isnt it? There are a couple of cases of kids who made it to adulthood but sadly they are rare. Its a devastating genetic defect. Hopefully genetics will be able to eradicate horrific genetic errors such as Harlequin Icthyosis one day.

As a woman that's the thing that terrifies me most about pregnancy. Seeing the number of kids born with it, means it probably can't be detected before birth.

I know, I see pictures of babies with so many godawful birth defects and it makes me scared to death to get pregnant (not that I have much of a chance of that anyways)

I honestly thought it wasn't a survivable condition. Learn something new all the time on here.

The images are really something when you enlarge them.
