couldn't disagree moooore.
Who says FOR SURE she isn't going to live a normal life....

everything starts by being first......
First man to land on the moon...
First successful tumor removal
First successful separation of conjoined twins...

.......no justification for euthanasia
.......nobody knows who lives and who dies

You would see from my comment on the other thread that I was rooting for the child's survival cos I thought it was a tumour. But on reading about the condition on this thread and seeing that she's practically brain damged. I don't know what they can possibly do to correct the condition, surgery is out of it cos it would involve draining the CSF and that's death. What kind of life do you think she can live without a brain?

You're saying "EWWW" to a deformed baby abi? Smh

@topic, this is one of those times parents got to make tough decisions, I really feel bad for the parents.

ifedun2: Its really a shame that our doctors have little or no knowledge about this health condition.Just pray a solution will surface.Really pity the infant.
Where was it said in the report that Doctors have little knowledge about the condition? I have seen nothing less than 20 of such cases so far,,,,,management of the condition however needs experts and hi-tech diagnostic equipments that are mostly available only in teaching hospitals and that was why they where referred to zaria. The specialist on such cases that is within Sokoto state is well renowned unfortunately, he is now the CMD of the National Hospital Abuja.

For the sake of this child and to limit his pain in a useless country like Nigeria where the ruling elites care more about themselves and lack of child welfare fund to cater for his welbeing,I with grate sadness propose that this baby should be eutanized. cry cry cry
unfortunately,i think i have 2 agree with u..to avoid unnecessary suffering, EUTHANASIA shuld be considered

Euthanizing may be a tough decision, but it will ease the pain and agony of the child and parents.

why should euthanasia replace the child's and parents' pain and agony.....
......if the pain and agony is too much for the child, the life will leave the body by itself

I remembered when my late son was admitted at LUTH, the women next to me at the ward had a baby with a similar condition. Even after the baby underwent surgery, she died few days later. so so sad!

My dear, do you think it's only in the north that such illnesses are found? You need to go to Teaching hospitals in the south and see things for yourself. You will be shocked at the various diseases you haven't seen in your entire life. All the same, you need to thank God for making you complete. e no easy my brother.

i think this is very sad and the baby should have been allowed to be born. i dont mean to sound terrible but there is no point bringing this baby to this workd to make her suffer. whats the essence of all the scan and check up pregnant women do at pregnancy stage. it could have been that it was not available to the mother but this is sad...May it not happen to anyone of us...now the baby will face the trauma's of surgeries after carrying her about for months soliciting for funds and i just pray that God heals her. im bitter about it because just yesterday i watched a documentary on CNN where a surrogate mum was offered money to abort a deformed baby and she refused...gave birth to the baby and the baby is suffering and just struggling to live."she knew before she gave birth, was advised to abort but refused now the baby's health is at risk.....Little Girl, May God show up and heal you in Jesus Name........Amen

What a sad situation. Whether the child is euthanised or not tough times lies ahead for the poor parents. Its better to let the poor child return quietly to her creator than to subject her to a short life of disablilty. So sad. sad sad sad

Poor babe. Neural tube defects are no joke. They require numerous surgeries and virtually unending medical care. Million dollar ++ babies.

Re: Baby Born With Encephalocele In Katsina by minute(f): 7:42pm On Mar 06, 2013
Encephalocele-herniation of brain and meninges through a defect in the skull is probably what

the baby has. It requires surgery to correct and depending on the severity can be fatal and

unable to be corrected.

Kamanda: Three heads are better than one.
At this time,the least one can do is to show compassion for the parents of this child and also the child not mocking them.
