I don't know, I saw this one show where a baby was born and his skin sheds super fast, he looks like a burn victim. The doctors told the parents he would probably die but if he didn't his life would be miserable. Anyway the mom fought to keep him alive...he can't go anywhere without people staring, he has to put lotion on his body constantly, his skin sheds alot, if he were to fall and get a rug burn his skin would tear off, horrible life if you ask me...

He was born like this:

I suppose there is an element of relativety. If he is brought up like that he is used to that way of living just like we are used to our own. Although he must see that everyone else can live easier lifes, must be sad.

Look at the picture above....


"On Thursday, April ye 5, 1750, I went to see a most deplorable object of a child, born the night before of one Mary Evans in 'Chas'town. It was surprising to all who beheld it, and I scarcely know how to describe it. The skin was dry and hard and seemed to be cracked in many places, somewhat resembling the scales of a fish. The mouth was large and round and open. It had no external nose, but two holes where the nose should have been. The eyes appeared to be lumps of coagulated blood, turned out, about the bigness of a plum, ghastly to behold. It had no external ears, but holes where the ears should be. The hands and feet appeared to be swollen, were cramped up and felt quite hard. The back part of the head was much open. It made a strange kind of noise, very low, which I cannot describe. It lived about forty-eight hours and was alive when I saw it."

It's called Harlequin type ichthyosis, skin cells reproduce so rapidly skin looks like scales of a fish hint the itchthy-....
