[QUOTE]Grant Hasse was born with two very rare conditions — one that's usually fatal, the other that should have left him unable to talk.But at almost 4 years old, he's a healthy bundle of energy after three dozen surgeries, including an innovative operation to create a new voice box.

Doctors discovered before he was born that Grant's upper airway was completely blocked, meaning that at birth, he'd be unable to breathe. Even with quick intervention, doctors said his survival chances were extremely slim.

Only about 50 people born with the condition worldwide have survived. Even fewer are born with no vocal cords — an anomaly doctors didn't discover until after Grant was born.[/QUOTE]

Well he was born with major genetic flaws that should have killed him moments after birth, the intervention of modern medical science may keep him alive but it's not a guarantee that life is going to be pleasant.

Another reason for genetic engineering of the population.

[QUOTE=Antlerp;49171615]Will he sound like Microsoft Sam?[/QUOTE]Honestly he sounds like a baby dinosaur that was taught how to talk.

[valkery]

He's nearing the age where you can't learn to speak if you've never been taught, so they better be on that shit all the damn time.

He would be mute. Not super usual.
