No brain means no personality. Does that mean no soul?
When he grows up he can be president just like Obama.
If he has no brain what is controlling his autonomic functions?
If this child is truly anencephalic (and I do not know if that is actually the case here), he will not now, or ever, feel anything or have any emotions. A "smile," if it in fact occurred, means nothing. He will never think a single thought.
While I oppose late term abortions, anencephaly is one case where exceptions should be made.
Flame away.
Apparently they can't figure out the kid's gender either.
I also wish Nicholas a Happy Birthday and a Merry Christmas.
What about the parents? I'll bet they wouldn't give back one second of time spent with their child.
This child is as precious to Jesus as any other.
Abort in a case like this? You are starting to draw a line that others may draw in a different place and it might be your child then.
Look at little Trig Palin. Over 90% of prediagnosed Down Syndrome babies are aborted. Does Trig look happy? Is his life worth living? Does he bring happiness to his family?
We MUST stop playing God. NO CHILD SHOULD BE ABORTED.
The photo shows a child with microencephaly, that is, minimal brain structures. A child with anencephaly would have not cranial capacity and very doubtful survival. Without large sections of the brain, functionality, emotionality and thought is reduced to almost nothing. Smiling is a reflexive response in this case. Love life, and God bless the mother who will care for this unfortunate child.
This is one of my favorite quotes:
“You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.” C.S. Lewis
What a witness to the awesome power of God.
I’m at a complete loss to understand how someone can even survive without a brain.
I’ll just attribute this to a miracle and leave it at that.
May God bless this little child.
I’m sorry. I love life, I hate abortion, but letting this child live is simply wrong. The child is, and will forever be, a vegetable. No hope for it, unless somehow brain transplants become common place. Flame me if you want, but my heart goes out to this child who can NEVER have a decent life, or even any life as we know it.

It is possible that it is the babies soul that at times comes through.
