If you still believe in a god, google ‘Harlequin Fetus’.
If you don’t, don’t. Seriously, don’t.

Harlequin syndrome is not debilitating, so treatment is not normally necessary.
I looked it up, doesn't seem that bad.

Every inch of your body’s skin being hardened and cracked to the point nearly every surface nerve is exposed and raw doesn’t seem that bad?
What does seem bad to you?

It’s not something that needs medical intervention, necessarily, because there’s nothing that can be done, and most live through it. Also, until shockingly recently, the medical field assumed (or maybe hoped?) infants can’t feel pain.
Turns out they can, though.

That belief is still pervasive, at least to some extent, which is something that's always kinda bewildered me. Like, baby comes out and first thing we do is rub it with an abrasive towel, and slap its feet and ass to make it cry so it starts deep breathing, then literally turn around and cut the tip of its dick off without any anesthetic because it can't feel pain?! What the fuck made it cry when we slapped its ass if it can't feel pain?!
For a field stuffed with people who have made it through medical school, we can be dumb as shit sometimes.

I’ve honestly wondered whether circumcision dulls boys’ empathy?
If the first experience you have in the world is extreme pain in your most vulnerable place, what does that teach you?

I kinda wanted his paralysis to be curable but because he's an orphan he can't afford it, and the well wishing Christians surrounding him refusing to contribute anything other than prayers to his recovery to be framed as a perfectly Christian thing to do.

It taught me later on in life that mothers want their baby's genitals to look like the genitals they've seen, and fathers want their babies genitals to look like theirs.
Initially I was told it was for religious and/or hygiene reasons, And while the religious reasons are still there in the religions the hygiene reasons are pretty much negated by taking a daily shower and having good personal hygiene.
I also learned later on that it was probably done initially to lessen the pleasure that you would get from masturbating. And if they could lessen the pleasure you get from it maybe you would do it less since the people at the time when it was put into regular practice thought that you touching yourself was the worst thing you could do.
