Re: Severe Body Deformity
If this wee creature is indeed a dessert storm veteran's baby,my heart goes out even more to the parents..i can't even begin to imagine how awful they must have felt. Rest, little one.

Re: Severe Body Deformity
Births like this should not be kept alive. In the old days they just quietly got rid of it, nowadays they keep every birth and every sick old person alive. Part of the reason of the high cost of health care insurance.

Re: Severe Body Deformity
This baby is probably not alive and probably has nothing to do with Desert Storm or any other type of exposure. There are genetic conditions or developmental errors which cause the developing fetus to have nonfunctional or nonexistent kidneys. This can cause the baby to have a hugely swollen abdomen. It also causes Potter's Syndrome, which is a type of deformation that happens when the baby has no amniotic fluid (which is partly made of baby pee), resulting in the baby being all squished, which is probably why this one's head and face are misshapen.
