If you could tell, harlequin babies (Harlequin-type ichthyosis) should definitely be aborted.
By the way, don't look up Harlequin-type ichthyosis, you'll want to wash your eyes and brain out with acid. Just leave it at that it's a tragic birth defect that is fatal 100% of the time.
I looked it up, and yes it looks horrific, but I've seen a lot of sci fi, so I wasn't that freaked out. It's not 100% fatal, there's a 26 year old living in the UK who has it and is a sports coach.
Yeah and apparently they're still figuring out mortality rates and lifespan with the new treatment. Wasn't familiar with it. I still say abort.
