Newborn with Cyclopia with Proboscis, Still Responsive to Stimuli.
Cyclopia is a fatal birth defect that can accompany holoprosencephaly, the failure of the brain hemispheres to fully differentiate. The brain defects additionally cause malformations of the organs, such as a single- or dual-chambered heart. Even with aggressive medical intervention, cyclopia sufferers will only live a few days at most. This video was taken in a rural area in India or Pakistan, and was featured on local news. The facility was not equipped for births requiring medical intervention. That said, the baby's attendants are doing their best to provide care. In the first half of the video, they are trying to get him crying and breathing properly, but they switch gears to cleaning him and making him comfortable at the end. This is the only video I've found showing a newborn with cyclopia showing any reaction to stimuli. All others I've seen have already progressed to only blinking and agonal breathing, or seizure activity. My hope in posting this is to humanize severely compromised newborns like this little guy. |

It literally looks like a dick sticking out of its forehead. An actual definition of a dickhead. Not to be mean but anyone would have to agree.

Why didn't someone just pick up that baby and cuddle him and comfort him? It was no secret he was going to die. At least keep the fucking flies off him and hold him!
