That's awful. Poor little thing. What kind of life would he have even if he did survive.

This thread has really upset me - the content is horrific in the extreme.

As far as replies go, it really is beyond expressions of sympathy, and if anybody takes it upon themselves to post anything 'clever' they couldn't go down further in my regard, so would it be possible to lock it please - better still delete it altogether?

Nobody has said anything "clever" and I don't suppose anyone would. The condition exists and can't be cured by deleting a thread. I agree it's horrible and I've never seen it before but we all need to know that these awful medical conditions exist.

It has really upset me too but it exists and we don't help anyone by denying it. If anyone can't bear to look at it (I know I can't) then that is understandable, but at least I now know about something that I didn't before.

It's a dreadful condition caused by a recessive faulty gene, which means that if two parents carry the gene there is a 25% chance that the child will have it. It amazes me that parents who already have one child with it will take the chance and have another child, given how awful the condition is.
