Harlequin fetus

A rare birth defect resulting in a baby with several deformities such as red balls for eyes, cracked skin, missing nose and ears, and a mouth disfigured into an erie smile. Not for the faint of heart, as it can be somewhat shocking on first glance. The baby usually dies quickly because of infection due to germs leaking through its cracked skin. Images of a harlequin fetus are often sent to others as jokes, but in my opinion it is sad how others make a joke out of a deeply suffering human being.

Harlequin Fetus

Harlequin fetus refers to an extremly rare genetic disorder that affects the formation of skin. Skin is ridged cracked and hardened, forming plates. Since these plates cannot flex deep cracks form allowing infection to penetrate the skin immediatly upon birth. The disorder distorts the facial features and constricts the digits. Harlequin fetuses are either stillborn or die very soon after birth.

Mothers with a family history of the disease are screened during the early months of pregnancy, pregnancies affected by it are terminated.

Genetic disorders, such as Harlequin Fetus, that affect the way we look have and will always evoke fear and revulsion, it's written into our DNA along with the rest of our reflexes and instincts.

We do not, however have to provoke this ourselves by turning images of the effects of genetic disorders into freak shows.

Harlequin Fetus

It's not disturbing, just really sad to see an image of someone living such a painful exsistence. It's sad & not scary, it's not something to be feared or nervously laughed at.....it's a diseas but their still humans-there are ppl who look more human but couldn't be more disturbed on the inside-fear & be disturbed by them, not a little baby/human/fetus.............it's the most inhumane thing to do, to say it's disturbing is wrong.

They are little humans inside

Harlequin fetus

An inhumanly disturbing birth defect. A victim would have extremely hard, bleach-white skin, and possibly red blotches near its eyes. As the word harlequin suggests, it has abnormally-shaped skin which breaks off easily, as well as odd-looking lips. It does not live to be very long, as it loses too much blood.
Seriously, PLEASE don't look it up. I know I sound like a chicken, but believe me, there is nothing worse I have seen in my entire life.

It is hard to believe that the harlequin fetus is human.

harlequin fetus

The most disturbing picture I have ever been tricked into Googling up in my entire life. It's a picture of a fetus with bleach-white skin that is incredibly hard. It is almost completely deformed, and has hideous red blotches for eyes. Believe me when I say that YOU DO NOT WANT TO SEE IT.

John, a mean and selfish person who does not care about other people, tricked Rob into looking at a harlequin fetus image, and he was scarred for the rest of his life.
