~~~~ Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 From the commentsAnne Andis Wonderful and generous, but not legal. Babies with anencephaly do not meet the legal standard for brain stem death, and thus are not able to be organ sources. They can, however, donate corneas, and give skin and tissue grafts after their natural death. I hope that will comfort the family. Sorry folks, someone on the internet said it can't be done. As someone who was themselves born without a brain, I can relate to this story, and it makes me very proud to be the person I am today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snatch Steal Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 I also want answers.how could you possibly have a substitute brain? I didn't realize we had the technology to implant that complex an organ into a person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resident Fascist Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 I don't know why being born without a brain is such an issue, just look at the average person and you'll see pretty much the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Βyakuya Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Yeah, but speedroid said he was born w/o a brain Well maybe he was joking, but if it was true then it would be good to know what he actually means to aid to the conversation.

As for the topic at hand: yeah, it's crazy morbid, but still an incredibly good deed. Heavy support for the idea.He commented in a way that made it seem like he has Aspergers too when I was talking about having it. He could have been born with part of his brain not being functional. I'm genuinely curious Sorry people, I know I owe you an explanation. I don't currently have time for one right now though as I am off to a Yugioh event. Wish me luck!

~~~~ Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 please don't mock me folks Update: OK, so here's the story. It's rather gross (in my opinion) and I am not 100% on all the terminology, but I'll try my best. So basically I was born with what is known as "ectopic brain tissue". Simply put, this means that I was born with most of my brain outside of my skull. I had to be a caesarian section to stop the brain being damaged during birth. Then they had to break my skull open - babies have very weak skull that are naturally split into (I think) 3 parts which then fuse during childhood - and carefully feed the brain tissue back in. Sorry for the delay folks. Mum tends not to like talking about it, as you can probably imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Apologies if what I said was hurtful at all, I'm sure you can see how your initial statement could be interpreted as satirical. May I ask if you were affected on the front or back of the skull? Cursory research on encephaloceles indicates that it actually largely varies based on location in the world, which I find incredibly curious. I also read that 75% of those affected end up with some form of mental disability. I recall you mentioning at some point that you had Asperger's, do you know if that is in any way related? Feel free to ignore any of these questions you like, I understand if it is too personal. I am just incredibly curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with Giga, you don't have to answer if you don't want to. You said most of your brain was outside your skull, so was there part of it inside? And if so, how did they fuse the brain tissues.
