"You people are LIFELESS!" the harlequinic man declared, and began juggling ice cream cones and offering licks to all around in between tosses - while humming something from Metallica in a very harlequinic fashion.

Harlequin Fetus

Harlequin Fetus is a disease. I'm not even going to go into it much, just know that it's TERRIBLE. No, I am not shitting you or pulling your ball sack on this one. I'm talking TERRIBLE TERRIBLE. Terrible to be born with and even worse to live with.

I'm also not going to tell you not to Google search it, that's your own dumbass decision to make, but let me tell you now, those images are very, very scary. Want a description? Babies born with Harlequin Fetus look like aliens or mutated babies with burnt, cracked skin and red globular eyes. SOLID red eyes. I would like to say that plenty people have survived it, but many haven't. THIS IS NOT A DAMN JOKE. IT IS NOT FUNNY. IT IS PAINFUL, IT IS LIFE THREATENING, AND ANYONE WHO STILL BELIEVES IT'S KINDA FUNNY CAN GO LOOK UP THOSE IMAGES NOW.
A 14 year old girl, Hunter Steinitz, was born with Harlequin Ichthyosis. Everything about her is perfectly normal, except for her skin, which is bright red and very, very thick. She's lucky she was born alive.

Using Harlequin Fetus as a shock image to laugh at is cruel and disgusting, the work of idiots. Whoever actually did laugh at it can go shove a stick up their butt.

Harlequin Fetus

A poor, misunderstood soul often linked to by inconsiderate people in attempt to scare others. These people do not understand pain and that children born with such a disease are nothing to be made fun of and are humans just like them. Of course, the disease is upsetting to many, however, the agony that a harlequin fetus is cursed with is far worse than the shock anyone could receive from viewing an image of their suffering.
A harlequin fetus wouldn't want to scare you; it was born that way. You don't have control over the fact that you are born without a skin disease, so why should people blame it for that?

Harlequin Fetus

Also known as the Harlequin type ichthyosis, the most severe form of congenital ichthyosis.

The Harlequin Fetus is a baby born with unusually hardened keratin layer in fetal skin. This creates diamond shape scales instead of skin. The eyes, ears, mouth, and other appendages are also horribly contracted and deformed.

The scales limet the poor child's movement, and cracks where the skin folds. This takes away the skins main fuction; protection. Bacteria get into the skin, causing infections.

The term harlequin comes from both the baby's facial expression and the diamond-shaped pattern of the scales, which are caused by severe hyperkeratosis. 17th century entertainers known as jesters, or harlequins, wore costumes with diamond patterns on them, as well as a particular style of face paint. The features of the harlequin fetus mimic this stylized makeup, and their faces are often pulled tight into grim parodies of a clown's smile.

Survival is normally only hours.
The Harlequin Fetus is a very sad being. It makes me sad to see internet assholes posting its pictures in hoping to get frightened reactions from people.

There are plenty of goatse, tubgirl, and lemon party pics on the internet.

Harlequin fetus

Y'all wanna know what harlequin fetus is? Google-image it. Actually, don't. Seriously don't. Just as chicken put it, the most horrifying image of a disease anybody has ever seen. The fucking thing scared the shit out of me for months after i saw it. The diesease was first observed in South Carolina by Reverend Oliver Hart.

"On Thursday, April ye 5, 1750, I went to see a most deplorable object of a child, born the night before of one Mary Evans in "Chas"town. It was surprising to all who beheld it, and I scarcely know how to describe it. The skin was dry and hard and seemed to be cracked in many places, somewhat resembling the scales of a fish. The mouth was large and round and open. It had no external nose, but two holes where the nose should have been. The eyes appeared to be lumps of coagulated blood, turned out, about the bigness of a plum, ghastly to behold. It had no external ears, but holes where the ears should be. The hands and feet appeared to be swollen, were cramped up and felt quite hard.
The back part of the head was much open. It made a strange kind of noise, very low, which I cannot describe. It lived about forty-eight hours and was alive when I saw it."
Sucks for anyone who sees it.
Harlequin Fetus kinda looks like a pepperoni pizza.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
