Ever had those experiences where you get curious about something, look for a picture of it and then regret it forever after? I did that- just then. While looking at the anatomy of the brain, I somehow stumbled across the words "spinal bifida" and "anencephaly"--- both smart-sounding words which I did not know the meaning of. Being the conscientious person I am, I decided that look them up. So spinal bifida wasn't that bad (relatively speaking), it just meant that someone had a split spine.
Then I looked up anencephaly, and I wanted to claw my eyes out. It was horrific. The sort of thing you'd expect in a horror movie, but this is worse than a horror movie because it's real. I find it dreadful even thinking about the people who actually are involved with cases of anencephaly, and I'm just thinking "I can't feel sorry for you enough".
It's at times like these that I wish I were magical, and that I could fix everything ever.
