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.

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