Even with modern medicine and science there are still some factors of childbirth that are simply left to chance. Occasionally a baby doesn’t fully develop before birth, which can result in many different physical deformities. These deformities can range from something as simple as a slightly different shaped finger to something as noticeable as a cleft lip. Although extremely rare, there is an infinitesimal chance that a child could be born mute simply because their throat or vocal chords did not completely develop. The odds are infinitesimal, but still there. Moreover, deafness may be a reason for muteness.
