ok so what is that?

[/ QUOTE ]
oh, there was a show on Discovery Channel about this type of condition called "microcephaly"...basically what people call 'pinheads'
They're extremely mentally disabled but worshiped as divine in India. It's weird and sad and strange all at the same time.

You're telling me this is real? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ]
yeah, most likely. The show was really really interesting. Only recently are they starting to screen for the genes that cause the condition

[/ QUOTE ]

looks like the battle toad one is an extreme case. this one looks a bit more normal.



edit: on second glance i'm going to have to guess that other pic is fake.

Man, I feel bad for those kids. What a bunch of trash posting in this thread.

Yeah this kind of [censored] is funny until you have a kid of your own. Then you think of the horrors that this family must experience. The decisions facing them are pretty close to the worst possible. Kill one to save the other, when to call it quits on the less viable, etc.

Just awful all around.

yeah, I'd guess that he does. But probably not as extreme of a case as some of these Indian kids. Beetlejuice is mentally disabled but not to the extreme that the ones in India are.

The baby with the cleft palate has a certain look that I couldn't pin point. After re-reading about microcephalants(word?) being worshiped and taking a 2nd look at the pic i figured out what it was. The baby looks very very wise. Sort of like yoda. I wonder if this has anything to do with them being religious icons in india.

It's weird to think that the right side (our right) is basically a head with a bag of organs.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. To anyone who saw the show: Does that one have a fully developed/functioning brain, etc.? Cause that's gotta suck for her (him?)
