Well, this is one of the creepiest things I've seen lately

It took me a while to figure out if this website was a joke or not. (I'm pretty sure it's real. But still not 100% convinced.)

They're pro-life "micropreemie" (a.k.a. fetus) dolls. Now, regardless of where you stand on the whole issue of whether life begins at birth, conception, quickening or wherever, I don't think anyone can deny that the human fetus, baby or not, is really freaking creepy looking. It trips our whole sense of "human, but not quite human, AAIIEEE!" And thumb-sized plastic fetuses dressed in baby clothes are, frankly, about ten times as creepy-looking as they would be in their natural environment.

Here's the main page, FYI.

But...but...they were checked by "Physcians[sic] and "Dulas[sic]!"

I can't see any non-rabidly political reason for that site.

It's the creepy little hats that get to me, I think.

Human development is actually cool. Taking fetuses and turning them into Precious Moments figurines ... not so cool.
