Community Tard Baby General (includes brain dead kids) - Fundies and their genetic Fuckups; Parents of corpses in denial

..what If you slapped the cow orb.
It'd make a fleshy slap sound and maybe jiggle a little.

Honestly, I actually think his face is kind of cute, he looks like a little hobbit or garden gnome or something. And while the mom might be grifting or a cow in some other way, I can't really blame her for not responding to your messages/comments calling her baby ugly...
He has a charming smile, he looks sweet. Fuck the attention-seeking, exploitative mother and her grifting, but between having a raging hateboner against a disabled bbeh and guilting money out of dumdums on the internet, I'm having trouble seeing which one is worse. $10 says this poster is one of those 'baby monkeys getting hurt' weirdos on youtube.
 
Now I really want to see what would happen if those flesh orbs were more common in humans, like if people would still do all the weird fundie potato shit with them 🤔

I get that pregnancy loss/grief/etc is still difficult, but forcing every accomplishment an actual kid has to be hamfisted to also focus on a kid that never really existed as a person in the first place (at least not with any sentience or awareness) doesn't really come off as healthy. Especially not when the actual kid wouldnt have any memories or grief of the dead spud.
We live in a truly unique time where these ‘miracles’ would rarely survive past birth, so it’s difficult to quantify. We can, however, look to the past at historical attitudes towards miscarriage. Unsurprisingly they are very similar to today, where some grieve deeply and others feel hardly anything, or have mixed emotions. Early miscarriages were probably not seen as such, mostly due to the fact that doctors were largely disinterested in studying these things, so that is also unique to our time. Though any stroll through the Victorian section of your local cemetery will tell you that they at least had the wherewithal to bury them with proper funeral arrangements if they made it to near term.

Complicated grief is a thing, and it’s difficult to treat because the person is usually reluctant to admit there’s an issue. There’s a lot of societal pressure on women telling them how to (or not to) grieve that makes things worse. Ultimately I see grief as a very private thing and wouldn’t post photos in the first place, but unless there’s a documented history of this mum taking photos with her living son at every single milestone a la Cal, then it’s not really that weird to me personally.

But we’re going off on a tangent based on what’s more of an opinion rather than an argument. Like I said, I’m viewing things through the lens of cultural acceptance where I’m from.
 
I think the closest thing would be acardiac acephalus, which is like, just a blob of baby flesh with legs sticking out the bottom:

Oh don't worry, it gets worse. Upon trying to look for more fucked up not baby pictures I discovered a condition called acardius acormus.

No wonder women were accused of laying with Satan after giving birth to shit like this.

The sad part of this one is that it's the result of a monozygotic twin (or more) pregnancy. There was likely a surviving sibling. Monozygotic twin pregnancy is dangerous, especially if the twins share a placenta and amniotic sac. In this condition, the twins are always monochorionic (one placenta) and sometimes monoamniotic (one amniotic sac).

This happens as the result of a phenomenon called Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion, or TRAP sequence. The abnormal fetus lacks a heart and is perfused by the normal, "pump" twin, via an arterial anastomosis at the placenta. Reversal of blood flow in the normal twin's umbilical artery brings deoxygenated blood to the acardiac twin. Basically, the normal fetus keeps the abnormal one "alive" but as soon as the umbilical cords are clamped, the acardiac fetus cannot live anymore.

Interestingly, while most surviving twins are normal, 10% or so have a trisomy. TRAP can also harm the normal fetus by overloading the cardiovascular system with too much volume. This results in congestive heart failure and fetal hydrops.

There are other types of acardiac twinning. The acormus type lacks a thorax, and the umbilical cord arises from the rudimentary head. There's an even less differentiated type called acardiac amorphous, which is basically a random assortment of meat.
 
Maybe it’s a cultural thing, since I come from a place where visiting dead relatives to lay flowers or tidy the cemetery for important milestones isn’t really ‘creepy’. If you’re taking these pictures from a support group then it goes to reason more ‘normal’ photos wouldn’t be posted. Poor guy seems a little upset too, unlike Cal who looked perpetually uncomfortable. Shoving your siblings into prom photos when you’re with your date is weird even if they’re normal.

Like I said, it’s sort of irrelevant whether or not the kid was brain dead, you can’t just switch off grief for ‘someone’ you hoped to love. I’ve known women who’s miscarriages haunt them their whole lives and siblings (especially multiples) who always wonder what could have been. This is all despite the fact that miscarriages are often due to issues with the fetus, I don’t judge them, it’s not my place.

It’s one thing to keep a potato alive in abject agony, or parade around photos of miscarriages on Facebook, but visiting a dead potato from time to time doesn’t do it for me, unless it’s a near daily occurrence. Personally I wouldn’t take photos, let alone post them, since it’s pretty damn private. I just don’t think out of all the crazy shit posted here this is worthy of mention.
It didn't have a brain. It was as sentient as one of those flesh orbs. Judging by the death date and the apparent age of the actual kid I doubt he had any memories or grief about the dead potato. It's just his parents being weird and doing Gwen Hartley shit
it wasn't even a proper potato baby, it was basically just a heavy period lmao. imagine if your mom had to make your graduation about THIS

At least the mother has a living child who's mostly normal. I can't imagine having some acormus shit and the doctor says "yup, that's your baby!

Homie had to share his graduation celebration with some spoiled meatloaf, F
This is devolving into a catty Internet slapfight so this is the last I’ll post regarding this.

If it were a first trimester miscarriage I would be inclined to agree, but that’s pretty obviously a dead, brainless baby. Personally I’d be pretty bummed about it, and I’m sure many others would as well. Is posting photos of said baby online weird? Yes, 100% yes. Though grieving people do weird shit, especially grieving parents, so this is pretty low hanging fruit if taken from a loss support group.

The people who prolong the lives of spuds for selfish reasons deserve to be ridiculed, the people who mourn the loss of their child (spud or not) not so much. It’s not up to randos on the internet to tell a woman when her child is a human and when it’s not, that’s a pretty deeply personal matter, even if she posts questionable content.

The head looks like the damn Resident Evil baby, Jesus fuck.
 
I thought you needed light therapy for jaundice not a cream
Jaundice causes itching in some patients, Cholestyramine is used to treat that, but it’s more so treating the effects an not the cause. So some topical cream could be used to help, but you’re correct in that light therapy treats the jaundice itself.
 
Reread the second paragraph. For some women it doesn’t matter if they had any semblance of sentience, it was still a potential child you conceived and lost. Emotionally it can be difficult, not everyone can be emotionally detached enough to remove themselves from that.
And I hope the people who think they can, never have to find out if it's possible.

Somehow this bothers me less than the less pure potato babies. You know they're not suffering in hellish agony every minute. They're literally just meatballs. I mean the Hartley Hooligans were little better than that but with any brain at all you don't know they can't feel any pain.
As cool as disorders like acardiac twins and brainless potatoes are, the actual developmental/genetic causes just aren't as cool.
Not much more cool than telling a new mother she gave birth to a monstrous potato baby because of an error in the Sonic Hedgehog gene, because some autistic geneticist decided to call a gene responsible for some of the most horrific birth defects that. (Apparently they have wisely decided just to start calling it "SHH.")

Another poor baby with a devastating injury, needing a court to determine he can have the life support turned off, as parents want to keep him as a potato.

A one-year-old boy who suffered a 'profound' brain injury after he was found face down in the bath can have his ventilator removed, after Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Trust asked the High Court to declare it to be in his best interest.

In what Mr Justice Hayden described as 'a tragedy of almost immeasurable dimension', the boy - known only as H - sustained the brain injury in June last year.

During a three-day hearing earlier this month, the court heard that H was wearing an inflatable device in the bath when his mother left the room to get a towel.

When his father re-entered the room, he found the then four-month face down in the bath with no pulse.

The court was told that H was taken to hospital but went at least 29 minutes before his heart restarted, which resulted in a significant brain injury due to the lack of oxygen.

H has been on a ventilator for eight months and cannot successfully breathe for himself.

His brain injury was so severe that ongoing intensive care would not increase his chances of recovery or lead to him going home with his family, the court heard.

The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust - which is treating H - had asked the High Court to declare it is in the boy's best interests for his mechanical ventilation to be withdrawn.

The boy's parents, known as Mrs A and Mr B, had argued that there were signs of improvement in H's condition, including that their son continues to grow and responds to touch, and they asked for more time.

However, one doctor told the court it was "unlikely that H experiences either pain or pleasure".

In a judgement published on Tuesday (8 March), Mr Justice Hayden found it was in H's best interest for his ventilation to be stopped.

Mr Justice Hayden said the changes were "understandably misinterpreted as indicators of recovery by parents, suffused with inexhaustible hope", and praised the couple for their "enormous devotion" to their son.

He added that H had been "a healthy, happy little boy" prior to the incident but that H's "devastating" brain injury means that he has a "vanishingly small prospect of survival."

"He was much wanted and much loved by them and by the wider family. What occurred was a tragedy of almost immeasurable dimension, he continued.

"I have no doubt, that on an intellectual level, both understand what has happened to their son, but on an emotional level, they simply cannot absorb it."

Mr Justice Hayden found that H's treatment is "futile and burdensome," and said: "The quality of H's life is reflected only in the love and care that has been showered upon him, whilst every effort has been made to treat him effectively.

"It is now clear that there is no such treatment and accordingly, his dignity threatens to be compromised."
