I feel so sorry about the parents of this baby. In a poverty engulfed country like Nepal. survival of such disabeld babies would be a huge burden to their parents and the babies themselves when they grow, just like the 14 yr boy with 20 inch height. It will be very interesting to study the genetic makeup of this baby. I am sure it would shade some light in the development of anterior part of the body such as neck and head - in particular eyes, and the face. So sad that Nepal is way behind in scientific research and cases like this will not come very often.
