Yeah I’m gonna just go ahead and put this on the list of conditions for which it should be okay to mercy kill an infant.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and presume there are no objections from the sane people?

“I was born with a rare skin disorder that results in a painful death 99% of the time, and doctors told me not to get pregnant, BUT I REALLY WANTED TO BE A MOM!” Selfish cunt.

I feel like if it was diagnosed at any stage in the pregnancy, abortion should be recommended, but ultimately left to parental choice like with Down's Syndrome. This is survivable with moisturization and daily removal of excess skin, of course there's a greater risk of early death due to infection, but there are people who have survived and seem to be happy with their life.

There's no way that person is happy.

they are happy because they're in an exceptional situation. Not born in a 3rd world country like in the video, parents (not biological, because she got abandoned) with enough money and time to take excessive care of her until adulthood.

Despite all this she will have trouble building relationships, making friends, holding down a normal job (yet alone push through an education). Does not seem like a life worth living IMO

They can actually survive this and eventually get normal skin
