AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the rare developmental anomaly known as cyclopia, exemplified by the Cyclops shark, which features a single eye due to this condition. Cyclopia is not limited to sharks; it can also occur in humans, leading to severe birth defects. The conversation touches on the grotesque nature of such anomalies, including a reference to a malformed human baby with a single large eye. Additionally, there is curiosity about the potential effects of cyclopia on brain functionality, with a humorous remark suggesting that it might simplify perception.

you see these kinds of birth defects in people, too, unfortunately.
 
One of the most grotesque pictures I've ever seen of developmental defects was of a baby that was born with nothing but one giant (malformed) eye on it's face. Needless to say it wasn't born live.
 
What effect does cyclopsy have on brain functionality I wonder? Would it make everything in life seem 'straight forward' ha ha.
