3D BABYFACE

i don't know if it's just my general revulsion towards the "miracle of childbirth", but how is a sonographic 3D rendering of your unborn child NOT super fucking creepy?

I don't get what's creepy or new about it. It's not like people currently get excited about ultrasounds solely for health-care purposes -- your forthcoming baby is in there, you're curious what's up with it.

What do you do when you're baking, dude, put a cake in the oven and then resist looking through the window to see how it's coming along?

I mean, granted, this seems unnecessary, especially since they're only claiming to do it late in the pregnancy and all, but it's not, like, creepy. Maybe a bit much, but not weird.

I'm now going to start a companion thread called 3D L.A. REID

it's not creepy, i just wonder who would want this image of their baby in their head

i don't get it -- newborns by and large all look like winston churchill and i don't understand how a glitchy 3D sonogram is in any way going to endear you to that fact.

I visited some friends a couple weeks ago and they're 2 months pregnant with their first kid and had just gotten the first recognizable ultrasound and were totally stoked first baby pictures woohoo except the images came with one of these 3D jobs and they though it was totally creepy.

Okay but here's the thing: when the child you're planning on spending 18 years raising is, like, taking form inside you or your significant other, it could look like a freaky pixelated lizard and it would still be "holy shit there is the living animal we created out of our bodies," etc.

Not to get all corny, but I mean c'mon, people will look at a blot of pixels on an ultrasound like it's the most amazing thing in the universe, because if it's yours it kinda is!

i understand some people have trouble emotionally understanding that pregnancy = baby and need to see a picture to put it all together, but if a stretchmarked belly & 2D sonogram isn't enough to make that register in your head then fuck you.

just personally -- if i were to have a child, i would not enjoy getting first glimpse of him or her by peering into the uncanny valley

god's creepy little miracles

I think there might be a market for 3d fetal-based age progressions.
