      The baby metabolism can’t process a particular antibiotic properly, which (depending on the accrued concentration) causes cell damage in liver, bones and cardiac muscles. As a result, the baby may suffer low blood pressure, kidney or liver failure, jaundice, brain damage and will die, if it’s not caught and treated early.

      A few months after they take you, you birth a new Grey. That’s how they reproduce, and why they kidnap people with their flying saucers.
