Appalachia's "Blue Family": bodies discolored by generations of inbreeding

[Kimberlyd125]

I had the misfortune of coming across it when doing research for biology class in middle school. Definitely shocking. I feel terrible for the families and babies who have to deal with this, although at least there have been some developments in treating it.

It breaks my heart.


I'd never heard of it.

Very blue.

Maybe they were just really sad.
