The doctor is performing baby heart compressions so it will live for a few more seconds. As you can see, every time he stops the compressions, the baby falls over. I mean it's basically already dead. It not only cannot feel pain, it can't feel fear or anything like that.

I will disagree with this 100%. My friend's daughter was born with anacephaly and she lived for 6 hours. She cried, she tried to nurse, she turned toward sound.

I 100% agree with your comment! I was pissed watching them poke, prod and attempt to make him cry...disgusting

Who tf could dislike that comment? A newborn with moments left to live in its short life is bounced around, and instead of being cradled and loved in its final moments it's treated cruelly, like a rag doll or puppet!

Thankyou for letting us know. Such a horrible situ for the med staff to be in, knowing they cant really help the baby

That's so sad!!

My two cents. This was extremely disturbing, just because it was a human, and so am I. However, I agree with those who said the vigorous forced movements and chest compressions were done to keep it breathing/alive longer, possibly for filming. That might sound harsh, but if this is a teaching hospital abroad, students could go decades without seeing something like this in the past. With Zika virus infections on the rise, students should be exposed to anencephaly asap. The video might be their first viewing.
