Where do they come from? Has anyone killed any of these things yet?

Medically listed as a genetic defect in the ABCA12 genome (specifcally repocible for cell membranes and skin tissue). Harlequin ichthyosis causes an thickening of the skin, in severe cases the entire body of a newborn will swell and wighten, cracking to reveal an under layer of skin. Often these deformities will recede with age (granted the baby doesnt die of infection, dehydration, or lodd of body heat)

(pic rel survived 2 days after birth)

But what about their eyes? Are they blind?
gpt
Thats actually the inner part of their eyelids. They have sever ectropion (eyelids are turned outwards) so they basically have to keep their eyes mousturized artificially in order to prevent damage to their corneas.
Its a tremendously fucked up condition that often kills. Sometimes even because the thick skin compresses their chest and suffocates them.

I don't get the point in keeping them alive.
Maybe that sounds cruel but I think forcing them to live in such extreme pain is cruel.
Not my choice though, and I guess if they agree and live long enough to become cozignant, they have the option.

Most of the struggle is in the infant period. Once they're past that, they survive pretty well, all things considered.

Side note, it's more likely in cases of incest, so don't fuck your sister, fellas.
