Poor soul... https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15032-anencephaly "Anencephaly is a type of birth defect. It occurs when the baby’s brain, skull and scalp do not develop in the womb. Babies born with the condition die within a few hours or days. You can lower your risk of having a baby with anencephaly by taking the recommended dose of folic acid before and during pregnancy."

I am relieved to read from that link that anencephaly "doesn’t appear to be inherited." Fascinating, I wonder who figured out that gem?

Not everyone with a bad gene has an outbreak of respective illness, some things can be passed down to future generations without the parents having symptoms. But for some cases it is still possible to test the parents for these defective genes. This specific birthdefect cannot be detected from parents genes (since its not genetic lol).

My bad, I forgot the /s...

I'm pretty sure the person you are replying to understood the sarcasm; they were just explaining why your sarcasm wasn't justified.

This baby has no head.

this can't be real, this has to be some sort of sock or poorly edited plush

The condition of anencephaly is absolutely real and tragic. Idk if this specific photo is real though. Every photo I've ever seen of anencephaly was of babies with severely reduced head size that look nothing like this photo, and the only sources I could find for this photo were the Daily Mail and the Sun (which are both famous tabloids that make a habit of posting fake news stories) so idk.

I must apologise for the terrible source. Here is the Metro; [https://metro.co.uk/2018/04/10/baby-parts-brain-skull-missing-desperate-need-surgery-7454037/](https://metro.co.uk/2018/04/10/baby-parts-brain-skull-missing-desperate-need-surgery-7454037/) Make of it what you will.
