Can shunts be taken out or are they in for life?

Shunts certainly can be taken out, as they may need to be replaced, especially during childhood, due to the growth of the child, and in some cases, need to be replaced because of shunt malfunction or infection. But they are usually required for the entire life of a person who has hydrocephalus, from the time they get their first shunt. With some people this is soon after birth, and with some it may occur later, but from that point on, it will be a permanent requirement.

What is the worst birth defect on record?

This is a difficult question to answer because it is subjective. What one person feels is the worst may not be what someone else does. Also the subject matter is kind of macabre.

One of the worst types of birth defects that I can think of off hand is anencephaly. Anencephaly is, like spina bifida, is a defect in the formation of the neural tube, but in this case the fetus does not develop a brain. They may still retain a brain stem so reflex actions like breathing can still happen, but the part of the brain that allows for consciousness is not there. Invariably these babies do not survive long after birth.

In most cases severe malformation results in spontaneous abortion.

What are the signs of posture defects?

What parts of the body are removable?

Only the appendix has no known function. I believe astronauts have it removed before going into space.

There are other parts you can manage without if they are adversely affecting your health.

Tonsils and adenoids were removed frequently 30-40 years ago but this is less common now. You can manage with only one kidney. If the spleen is seriously damaged it can be removed but this affects the immune system.

Can a baby be crushed accidentally during birth?

If you mean from the mother's pelvic bones, no a baby cannot be crushed. Hormones in the mother begin to relax ligaments in the pelvis so the pelvis spreads. If you mean by strong contractions, no, this is nature's way of pushing the baby through the birth canal. If a doctor must use forceps, doctors are trained where to place the forceps and it would never "crush" a baby's head. Lastly, the largest part of a baby is the head--once one shoulder and head are delivered, the baby slides out. So, no, babies do not get crushed during childbirth.

Correcting assignment defects often involves reassessing roles and ensuring proper alignment of tasks with the right individuals.
