Wiered Nature - Shocking Reaction

In a wiered incident at Khargone a mother died of shock after she was shown her newly born baby. The baby took birth with terrible deformities. She had no legs, an out of proprtion & large head and palm, scaringly big eyes and abnormal body shape. It pained the mother so much that she fell unconscious after seeing her & then never came back.

Thats not all, the family members considered her under influence of a bad spirit & hence burried the child alive.

Some random thoughts -
It is possible that the child with such major deformities might herself not survive on her own for long - but burrying somebody alive - sends shivers down my spine. On the other hand one wonders had the child survived - what would life be like to her, her parents and those around her. I guess that would have been worse than death.

Another scary thought - can this happen more often when technologies like cloning, stem cell research, genetic engineering misfires and delivers deformed babies?

Sometimes life can be worse than death. This is one of those cases. It would be more interesting to see how the new technologies create an impact.
