What kind of problem is it?

[MathiasOfAthens]

Ive heard about this. Its extremely rare but it has happened before. Dont recall the latin name for this disease.

[Solid Snake]

The problem must be in the blueprints I guess?
I think the chromosomes are messed up. But it´s truly an unique case.

[MathiasOfAthens]

Sadly this would have been a textbook abortion case. Its not wrong to abort this baby when she was born if you cant detect this defect in the fetus.

[Solid Snake]

Yep, but it seems that chromosomical and cariotype studies are not part of the routine exams a newborn gets, nor are they part of Intrauterine life studies. Well at least here in Mexico. Dunno how it is in the US.

Funny thing that, my sister was pregnant and the test showed the baby had downs. The doctor actually recommended an abortion. The funny thing is that they went to another doctor, and it turned out they had the conception date estimated wrong, and my nephew was born without downs quite happily.

Now I'm all for aborting genetic defects, but extreme care must be taken.

Edit: Allow me to add this. Had she been aborted (and being no one knows whats wrong with her having her 'aborted' is a nonsensical statement), we might be missing out on some extremely important information on aging. For all we know shes got immortality worked out. Imagine duplicating it not at 14 months but 20 years age.

I sincerely Apologize if I offended you. Obviously extreme care should be taken.

What a painful curse.

The Human condiction is to live, age and die, just like everything else, if this keeps her alive long after her parents, her sisters, it would be like the Bicentennial man, who would want to watch all your loved ones die one by one?

DER IS OBVIOUSLY A SUPERNATURAL CASUATION AND ITS PRO-

Oh wait nope there's a scientific explanation for this.

Her DNA...

[MathiasOfAthens]

Yeah I dont know this is prob undetectable at birth. Unfortunately.

Fake

Fake

PHOTOSHOPPED!

actually its not fake. I watched a whole special on this on the medical channel. She literally has a baby sister born after her who is now old enough to change her diapers, her baby sister is like 9 or something and she is putting diapers on her older sister (brooke).

edit:

see here is brooke on the left and her baby sister on the right

Yeah I know, I was just playing off Shin's comment.

Triangular face, high/broad forehead, low nasal bridge, scaphocephaly probably with occipitofrontal bossing. Probably diagnosis: Mulibray nanism.

Psychomotor development is usually normal or slightly delayed in a great majority of the infants.

[Solid Snake]

Well, I think that the options (abortion, give up for adoption etc...) must be given when a genetic condition is detected, going as far as recommend I wouldnt do it. I would only say, its like this and like that, you guys make the call.

[Solid Snake]

Hmm, kinda looks like she has Edwards syndrome or something along those lines.
