Wow, that site is...I dunno, I think seeing a fetus at various gestations is interesting. Having just had a baby myself (very, very luckily, she was late, not early) I tracked the progress of my little one all the way and loved imagining her at six weeks and on, so tiny but already human looking. I only was bothered by the idea of dressing any of the pre-21 wk babies. It's amazing and wonderful how modern medical science has been able to sustain premature babies and help them not only survive but thrive, but slapping a hat on an eight-week-old fetus is...it's disturbing to me. No eight week old baby is going to survive outside the womb long enough to wear a hat. It adds a repressive religious overtone (God doesn't want to see even a fetus naked!) that takes the idea from being sweet to creepy. Well....it was interesting to see, but I share j_luc_pitard's feelings on the matter.
