I don't believe in a God, but if there is a God has he not left us to our own devices... what I am saying is, abnormalitys from birth are gentic malfunctions which could be caused from many different threads we have ourselfs put into the human stream of life.

Harlequin ichthyosis is the condition and although most of the babies die, some live to teenage years and even adulthood. Some research was in a medical dictionary we have, the rest on wikipedia.

Definitely worthy of debate... It would be more what you would consider related to God (whether or not biology is) and what is separated...

But that aside (not shrugging you off - it's a great discussion that would deserve a thread in and of itself, or discussions offline), I honestly feel as though we are prisons of our own biology... That mortal coil... Looking at genetic anomalies create so much pathos and interest in me because these are examples of humans dealing with the control of their own genetics...

Yes, you DID mention the name of the condition... Sorry I missed it (was so distracted by the video)... I just did some research myself on Wikipedia, and that's just... horrific.

I think it has a lot to do with diet and generl way of life, obviously in malnourished third world countrys these type of occurences are far more common.

That alien baby was just straight up creepy.

These kind of things just make me not wanna wonder about anything.

I really wish not to. I have too much shit going on in my fucked up life to worry about alien babies, octopus babies, and tree limbed men.
