It is adorable how they found a way to stop contractions using its little pool noodles

Very cute and smart of them to find a creative way to prevent contractures.

Luckily it seems this one's parents are going to make sure she gets therapies she needs.

That's good, so it sounds like they're too smart to mess with her vent settings or put her in the snow.

Nice six-fingered hand.

That might actually be intentional, I've heard extra fingers aren't uncommon with trisomy and other conditions.

Still not worth 15+ bucks tho

Some images from Born Abel's book was posted. This is what people pay $15 a book for.

the art is shit enough, and inconsistent enough, that I wonder if it's really ai?

Nah, that book is Assigned Male-quality art.

 

[GenociderSyo]

That book is also book 15 or 16 of a series.

How long are these books? They look extremely thin in the pics I've seen of them.

If it they weren't fundies I could almost believe them commissioning Labelle to do the art.

About 30 to 40 pages. I was wrong about price they are $20 each.

That's longer than I thought but still expensive AF for such thin books. You could probably get a nice hardcover children's book for half that.

Do the people whose kids are featured in the books at least get free copies?

Don't think its ever been said and she only sells paperback. If she kindled them I'd grab one to see how it is.

Spoiler: a sperg about art

Side note art sperg: Children's books are one of those things where everyone on earth has a just brilliant idea for one, and for little fledgling artists they dodge a constant barrage of 'will you draw my children's book, no I don't have money to pay you but I'll totally give you a cut of the profits that will surely flood in'. It's up there with 'will you draw my baby', 'will you draw my pet', and 'will you draw me a tattoo'.

Even if you're working with a totally non-professional, does commissions on the internet tier artist, they should be charging at least $100 a page at bare minimum. Multiply that by 30-40 pages. Do you really think the retard making those books is ponying up any sort of appreciable money to get these drawn? She'd have to sell five books per illustrated page just to break even, and that's not covering any printing costs.

TLDR; these books are absolutely illustrated by some rando found on Fiver, hence why the art is shit. Though I feel for the guy, imagine sitting there for a (couple) hundred hours of staring at people's incompatiable-with-life babies, trying to draw them both visually distinct AND cute?

I know around here we stare at them for free, but none of us are exactly normal.

There's a bit of a difference between "medically complex" and "terminally ill" or "incompatible with life."

There is also a big difference between going for palliative or comfort care, and futile treatments.

Having done zero research, this looks like a version of that "you've won a poetry award" scam from the last century.

Publish a book with nephew art of 80 dead babies per book (estimate); overcharge 80 sets of parents, who might buy multiple copies for grandma et. al. Let the dead baby influencers hype the pending next edition for you, for free.

When I think of a medically complex child, I think of a type 1 diabetic with a feeding tube, as the best example that someone easily understands. Someone becomes medically complex when you start installing tubes and buttons and more stuff, but it is a choice in a way that a DM1 child with dire gastroparesis just needs the feeding tube and close monitoring.

I don't care if you're not religious, but I believe having healthy children is a blessing from God. It's humbling when you realize all the things that can go wrong.

Or a child with cancer, or a poorly controlled seizure disorder, or a child with a metabolic disorder like PKU with complications, etc. etc.

Late to the anencephaly stuff but nothing invokes a bigger knee jerk repulsion in me more. Your baby isn't a miracle, it's a monster with half a head and no brain. My fight or flight instinct goes into overdrive

I posted this in the Hartley thread but it should be posted here;



This woman might even deserve her own horror cow thread. She claims Kayli’s three older brothers also each have some rare disorders but I can’t get any details yet. She ran a blog about Kayli living life “trisomy style ya’all !!!” It’s just a fucking dumpster fire horror show with ever new account I find by her trying to turn Kayli into her little SM viral sensation. Also, ofc, she super religious and hates all the evil doctors who keep advising her to let her poor daughter die for fucks sake.

Blog: http://trisomy18.blogspot.com/2014/12/kayli-is-not-guaranteed-medical.html?m=1

Kayli is practically non-sentient. But she does feel pain. She actually pees out of a faucet on her belly. This childs life is miserable. Her mother has her in beauty pagents. She is wheeled out on the stage sound asleep. No idea what is going on.

Kind of an old doc but the documentary about Jonny Kennedy, who suffered from a severe case of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa called The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off has some discussion about the ethics of aborting EB afflicted fetuses. He makes it very clear that no child should be brought to term with the disease. He has a rather frank discussion with his mother about it. "It's not just having a disabled child, it's disabling the entire family".

Spoiler: potentially NSFW

That documentary is really good but really sad. The condition he had is very painful and always results in the person getting incurable skin cancer in young adulthood. It's definitely understandable he and his family thought abortion was kinder than bringing a kid into the world with that condition.

EB actually has a bit of a treatment now that can make the skin not as easily tearable. Been following research on it.

Did you see the dates in the link? The most recent post I saw was from 2015, so it's unlikely that Kayli is alive now.

(NM, I see on a Facebook page that she's 15 years old. If she has any quality of life, she can't express it.)

 

[Buttercream]

Late, but it's sort of darkly comedic to name a severely disabled baby "Abel".
