A member asked:
How long can anencephalic baby live?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minutes usually.: The exposure of the brainstem to the environment lead to demise within minutes of birth. Rarely, when the dura matter is present and epithelialized (protecting the brainstem from infection), these cases (not true individuals, as they depend on others to survive) can linger for weeks.
