Overview

Anencephaly- is the absence of a large part of the brain and the skull.

Symptoms

• Absence of the skull
  
• Absence of the brain (cerebral hemispheres and cerebellum)
  
• Facial feature abnormalities
  
• Heart defects

Prognosis

This condition usually causes death within a few days.

Bioethically speaking - Would you have an abortion when you find out 20 days into the pregnancy that you have a baby with anencephaly? or would you let it be born to die within a day or two?

No because it is still human.
