Bartsocas-Papas syndrome is a rare, inherited, popliteal pterygium syndrome (see this term) characterized by severe popliteal webbing, microcephaly, a typical face with short 
palpebral fissures, ankyloblepharon, hypoplastic nose, filiform bands between 
the jaws and facial 
clefts, oligosyndactyly, genital abnormalities, and additional ectodermal anomalies (i.e. absent 
hair, eyebrows, lashes, nails). It is often fatal 
in the neonatal period, but patients living 
until childhood have been reported.

When i look at my son, playing, discovering the world surrounding him, laughing, signing, dancing and being in admiration of anything new to him; i can only condemn what cruel joke was inflicted upon these babies and their parents.
Every parent heart aches from this.
One day, eugenics will be a reality, one day we will purify our genetic code from anomalies. To reach such a goal, science will have to annihilate all religious doctrine and triumph over mysticism.
