People Are Still Born With These Bizarre And Rare Conditions. Will There Be A Cure?
The world of medicinal science is better than its ever been, yet even today people are born with defects that mutate their bodies and alienate them from society. Doctors are still working on finding the cause and cure for them, but maybe the first step is just becoming aware of these defects and normalize their victims to your eyes.
Warning: some of these medical conditions are tragic, resulting in graphic images.

It’s important to remember that people with these abnormalities didn’t choose them. They just want to be treated as people just like everyone else, and part of the way we can do that is become aware of their situation. So far, there is no cure or fix for these genetic conditions, but in the future there may be medical advances that can prevent these abnormalities.
