There's enough brain to run the body's functions, but that's it. No thought, no conscious motion.

Came here to post this, Anancephalic babies, AKA frogbabies have enough brain matter to keep them alive, but not much else, they don't live for too long either way, and don't really leave the throwpillow stage.

THE holiday that that particular religion is built upon.

You mean the Pagan celibration of the Spring equinox?

E: Name is based on Eostre, the Pagan goddess of the dawn or something like that.

You know, if we could somehow induce this condition, would it be wrong to pay women to have these things, fancy 'em up, and then sell them as dolls?

They aren't conscious, remember, so it'd be no worse than buying someone's hair for a wig.

Or just provide the hormonal treatments so you can make your own!

I know this makes me sound like an insane psycho, but what would the cops do if you grabbed it by the feet and smashed it against a wall. It can't be murder as it's just an empty shell. Can it even be manslaughter if there's no brain?

Maybe it would just be damage to personal property?

The thing would probably die on its own without constant medical care, I don't think your method is totally necessary.

Or sane.

e: and since there is likely no precedence of anencephaly-related infanticide on the books, you would probably be arrested and tried for murder.

Never have I lol'ed at an article as hard as I did here, immediately followed by the sub-head Not Retarded.

Pretty amazing though once I got over the laughter.

I'd like to see a picture of what this guy looks like, the outline of his face in the CT scan looks strange.

Half of the people in this thread are monsters. The only hope I have is that some of you will look back on the hosed up things you have said here and feel at least the tiniest bit of shame.

Only GBS can create 15 pages of mindless posts about a brainless baby and not notice the irony.
