It was known that baby Grayson would be born with a rare brain disorder ( anencephaly ). The baby had no skull cap and meninges and the cerebrum was not formed. Grayson would only live for a short time: it was 8 hours in which the parents and the family surrounded the baby with love.
A baby like any other
My first reaction was: how exhibitionistic to want to post these gruesome photos on Facebook. But once you have seen the photo korea telegram data series , you will think differently. The great sadness that must have been there is outside the box. Here a child was born who was surrounded by warmth in his short life. The photos breathe the same naturalness that you find in all baby albums. It is logical that the parents wanted to give this a place on Facebook, among the other events in their lives. To say: our child was just as wanted as all other children.
The baby’s deformed face can be described briefly
An uninhibited toddler would say: ugly, but sweet. The average crime series on TV contains more lifelike horror. Ugliness is a part of existence. The baby photos reminded me of a beautiful photo book by Mark and Dan Jury from 1976: Gramp , translated into Dutch as: A man grows old and dies . Here it is a grandfather lob directory who becomes demented, starves and dies.
I fear that Facebook’s rules are very American. That means a prudish attitude towards the naked body (ever noticed how the challenges of supporting smart video systems often sex in American movies is performed with clothes on, or under the sheets?) and a strong undercurrent . Will they be quickly of religious correctness. Will photos of two men kissing pass muster?
