From what I've seen, the argument for or against whether this condition can lead to any sort of future for this child. And it isn't very practical. What action would be taken if they decided the baby was almost undoubtedly going to die? None. The argument of whether or not the damage to this baby's brain will affect it's life seems futile, in the respect that no matter who presents a better argument, no action could be taken as a result of that argument.

Besides possibly the use of medicine to extend the baby's life, I suppose.

It's not like this argument was supposed to help the baby, lol.

Isn't the baby already connected to a breathing device right now?

Yeah I agree. It kinda decides itself when the baby can't breath on its own.

I feel bad for the mother. She's got balls, because she isn't breaking down into depression or anything like that. My auntie had a stillbirth because her umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby during development, and 2 weeks from labour the baby suffocated... It was tragic for her, because she was more of those happy family people.

She didn't go out into the public for 3 months.

Man, that's so sad. I lost my first to extreme prematurity...fortunately, the need to make hard decisions regarding heroic measures to prolong her life weren't necessary as she was born before "viability". But even as I dealt with her loss, I was glad that I didn't lose her to a stillbirth...I got to enjoy her and mother her for an hour before she passed. My heart goes out to your aunt, who didn't have that luxury.

( I forced myself out into public as soon as I recovered from her birth...but then had a breakdown at IHOP restaurant and made a fool out of myself.)

That is so depressing, poor little baby. I'm not even going to try to make a poor attempt at being edgy, it's just too sad.

The baby didn't have much time to grow...while attached.

Well yeah I guess physically attached in the sense of the umbilical cord, but that doesn't give it a lot of character development. It was basically just a parasite that died after sucking out her nutrients for almost a year, I'd be glad to have the bastard out of me one way or another.

That harsh biological description doesn't account for the psychological bonding that takes place between a mother and her unborn child.

Well you see, you're right. Her baby didn't have enough time for character development, before and after birth. It was pretty much a static character the entire time....in more ways than one.

Well mothers apparently are able to have a psychological bond with something that isn't even a sentient being, so I wouldn't place it above the level of window shopping and seeing a particularly enticing pair of shoes.

I guess it's pretty safe to assume that the mother that gave birth to Faith will probably take it home, take it out in public a few times then throw in her closet after the baby's novelty value wears off...just like those enticing shoes she bought.

When your kid doesn't have a brain there's really not a whole lot you can say about them in public. You'll never be able to play catch with them or brag about how they made the honor roll. Yeah you can bask in the false sympathy that other parents give you while all the other kids make jokes about it giving birth to tadpoles, but after about a month you might as well just harvest the organs and move on in life.

It's just a ride.

The best part of the whole ordeal is, if we cloned this mutant baby, we could totally save Michael J. Fox's life.

I don't know though, would you really wanna save Michael J. Fox if he didn't make another "Back To The Future" movie? I know I wouldn't.

Let's ponder this for a second.

I don't know about you but I'm still hoping for another season of Spin City.

I remember one time I drew this really cool picture of a dick on my Etch-A-Sketch then my bastard cousin with Parkinsons got hold of it and erased the whole thing. I yelled at him a lot and he cried and said a bunch of stuff about just wanting to draw like all the normal kids, but I've never really forgiven him for it and have a distaste for people that resemble him in any way.

It's just a ride.

I'm glad to see that others were as disturbed as I was by that picture. The baby seriously looked like something out of a sci-fi movie, only even scarier.

The mother, realizing that the baby was born like this, must be either clinically depressed or insane. I mean, how the hell would any mother feel knowing that they bore such a severely mentally-deficient infant?

Aww, that's really sad. It's devastating for many people to wait almost a year, then to find out that the wait was for nothing. I hope any future children that you may have grow up to be healthy, intelligant, and strong.
