Harlequin Fetus
Template:NSFW Harlequin Fetus is a shock image which shows a baby with a rare skin disease with massive scales on the body which is reddish in color. The baby also has completely red eyes that are possibly pools of blood, in addition, babies are infected with a severe genetic disorder called Harlequin ichthyosis which mainly affects the skin. The newborn infant is covered with plates of thick skin that crack and split apart. The thick plates can pull at and distort facial features and can restrict breathing and eating. Mutations in the ABCA12 gene cause harlequin ichthyosis.[1]
Due to the shocking nature of the fetus, images of these are often used as bait and switch shock videos, in the similar style of Goatse and Lemon Party.
