Did You Know: Monkey Pig Is Just One of the Badass Results of Holoprosencephaly

Published on August 21, 2008 by   ·   37 Comments

The recent monkey-faced pig born in China, is just one stellar example of the neurological malformation Holoprosencephaly, which causes animals, and humans to be born with severe facial deformities that sometimes can resemble the cyclops of ancient legend.

The most well known of these is the recent birth of Cy, the Cyclops kitten. But there have been human cases as well, most resulting in still birth, but still presenting interesting fodder for inspection. If you don’t get scared by shit that’s real, click read more

Notice the single eye-like structure and a prominent nose-like proboscis located where the eyes would be.

      People never did these things to the animals. They are birth defects due to genetic errors.

      Damn, you guys are flaming this chick way to harshly. The pig was born like that due to a failed attempt to DNA crossbreed a pig/chimp. Sally is up on her current events and probably assumed the other animal pic was a failed crossbreed experiment too. click “monkey faced pig born in china” to read the article about it.

        Um, no it wasn’t. Some people went around assuming that it was because they were all like “that pig’s grill is fucked” and “hey, doesn’t China just go around genetically engineering all the time and stuff” and decided that those two facts just MUST go together.

        But that’s not the case here. That pig is a textbook example of holoprosencephaly, which is a pretty uncommon, but naturally-occurring birth defect.

      Okay retards let me educate you ignorant noobs a little, my son Jaden was born with holoprosencephaly I was neither an alcoholic nor a drug addict it is simply a failure of the prosencephalon in the brain to divide into two hemispheres its nothing that was done or caused its just an unfortunate anomaly.

        Amber, I am sorry to hear that your son was born with such a devastating birth defect. I am sure you love him even more because of it. I know that I love my developmentally delayed son so much. So, please dont use the word retard it is hurtful and insulting. I would never call your son anything other than Sweetie.

        exactly and not every child that is diagnosed with Holoprosencephaly looks like this…the side effects are cleft lip and cleft pallet. Yeah there can be more effects. But not all have severe disfigurements so stop fucking complaining if you don’t know shit about it. I had to go through life living with the fact that my sister was disfigured you think I am happy about that? And to top it off she had a severe case she wasn’t even suppose to live through child birth, and now she is deceased. So fuck all this shit about alcoholic’s and drugies and go do some research!

        oh and Amber Scott thanks :)

      Some other idiots here seem to think that God is the only force at work on this planet . . . Read the Text – evil was here first. Not all things are within “God’s plan” or happen because “God has a reason”. Some things are just plain fucked up, and God had nothing to do with it. But then again, a lot of people don’t WANT God to have anything to do with it, do they?

  5. overreacting much? says:

    I don’t think she meant other people did that to others. I think she meant she felt the people in the pictures were exploited. Maybe more information on the deformation would have helped the article more.

    first off, who said it was cruel? this is fact. this is what happens due to genetics. not all of it is because of drugs and drinking. its from the AA Aa aa crap you learned in biology in high school back in the day. I think more people should be aware of the genetic deffects that can happen, and I think people need to be less freaked out by the crazy that happens. If pro-life freaks can post abortions to freak people out why can’t we freak people out of doing stupid crap like inbreeding.

    • Jippy McNish says:

      Again a misunderstanding, not known to have a significant correlation with inbreeding. Just a simple matter of chance in most cases, a signalling molecule called Shh can have an impaired function which can lead to this syndrome, which is simply the failure of one step of development to occur, the splitting of a uniform lobe into two distinct hemispheres. The matter of the one eye is due to the fact that the eye originally splits off in its fundamental form from a region of the developing cerebral hemisphere but in this case, there is only one copy of that region.

      They’re not “haters”. “Hater” would imply that they dislike her for no reason. However, their reason for disliking her is perfectly logical. She went ahead and commented without reading the article and thus made a fool of herself. Logic, people. Its wonderful.

    this is what is happening in the middle east, the depleted uranium in the ammunition the u.s. used does this to them and americans who were involved. the radiation lasts for billions of years, in the air, sand, water, even spreads from partner to partner

    Okai, the monkey pig was down to Holoprosencephaly,which causes facial deformities.
    The kitten was down to a birth defect and so was the babies.

    Im just fed up with all this arguing, just grow up and stop acting like children.

    Love ShahnEllora

    I had a little sister who had Holoprosencephaly she died a couple years back……..she looked nothing like this. The major defect and disfigurement is the cleft palate or cleft lip. So this whole cyclops legend bullshit can just get pushed aside. This is just so fucking stupid really all of this complaining about some fucking health defect. So fuck this shit.
