    I hope it is.. for everyone's sake as well as it's own... no surgery is going to fix that shit. It would be intensely suffering for it's entire life. And I'm usually one of those yahoos that says life is always worth living. But this? No. There's got to be a line somewhere...

    Back in the 1930s the parents could have made a fortune by displaying their child in a traveling circus
    as one of the human oddities (or freaks) :eek:

    Explanation:

    Harlequin-type ichthyosis (also Harlequin ichthyosis, ichthyosis congenita, Ichthyosis fetalis, keratosis diffusa fetalis, and Harlequin fetus, a skin disease, is the most severe form of congenital ichthyosis, characterized by a thickening of the keratin layer in fetal human skin. In sufferers of the disease, the skin contains massive, diamond-shaped scales, and tends to have a reddish color. In addition, the eyes, ears, mouth, and other appendages may be abnormally contracted. The scaly keratin greatly limits the child's movement. Because the skin is cracked where normal skin would fold, it is easily pregnable by bacteria and other contaminants, resulting in serious risk of fatal infection.

    Sufferers are known as harlequin fetuses, harlequin babies, or simply harlequins.

    There's no way that baby would still be alive. I guess it was the result of a DNA malfunction. The Halloween music was a corny addition.

    You know, that was the first thing I thought of, and I actually saw a doc they did on the only kids that ever survived it, but this kid looks like something else to me. I'm no doctor, but the skin didn't seem the same, nor did the eyes. I know harlequins' eyes usually protrude, but not enough to make them look like Syd the sloth. :eek:
    Maccabyrd is right. It's anencephaly:

    Harlequin diseases are really sad, I saw a discovery channel documentary named "too much skin" about that disease and some girls in Europe who suffer it. I believe many of you have seen the famous picture of Judy who is, I believe, the oldest Harlequin alive at the moment, since the excessive amount of skin growth (20 times faster than normal I believe) makes them unable to breathe and they die as babies.. but if parents DO fight it, they can live.
    Having a child with this disease is something I strongly admire, it must be VERY hard.. and even worse, being born with that disease is not only hard but painful since you have to violently scrub your entire body everyday to eliminate the extra skin... you need to keep the skin moisturized otherwise it "breaks" and hurts like hell.

    Poor people, seriously.
