Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. How many years are there between Melanie and her new baby sister?

Answer: 15

2. What is wrong with Jennifer, Melanie's little sister, when she is born?

Answer: her brain is not fully developed

The medical term for this is called Anencephalic. A baby born with this can't see or hear. The top part of their head is misshapen because the top part of the brain or the cerebral cortex isn't there, it's just a fluid-filled sac. They have no consciousness, no ability to think or reason.

The brain stem works so the nervous system can function for a short time, making it possible for the baby to breath and the heart beats. So if the baby doesn't die at birth they do shortly after birth. This defect is often picked up on an ultrasound. Usually if parents find out their baby has this defect they make the hard choice to abort it.
