Tiny Fetal Skeletons Modelled In Marzipan
Daily Mail | Submitted by: Heronyomous_Coathanger
"Brazilian student Jorge Lopes has pioneered the conversion of data from ultrasound and MRI scans into life-size plaster models of living embryos using a method called rapid prototyping... Dr Lopes also modelled conjoined twins and separated twins from a CT scan and MRI."

Marzipan; not just for pigs anymore.

Gross! Why not make models of your turds and keep them too?

Plaster caster, grab a hold of me faster And if you wanna see my love, just ask her And my love is the plaster And yeah, she's the collector She wants me all the time to inject her The plasters gettin harder and my love is perfection A token of my love for her collection! - Sommons

I've changed my mind about abortion...all unborns should be genetically screened, and if they're going to be drunks, waste 'em.

1981 I got a MIGwelding robot to scan and spit as it went. Left me an ashtray looking like a birdnest, program kept on a std.cassette tape. I called the idea and show "3-D Faxxing",at the time. 'Bout time.

Oh good lord. I have the perfect place for them. Right alongside my Downs Syndrome dollies.

Cool, but not very rotten. I like the idea of making them out of chocolate. Nothing says happy valentines day like giving her a chocolate baby.

Jesus christ... these people act like rapid prototyping is some form of magic. And there is really no difference between using a medical ultrasound or an industrial model to feed cad/cam or cadde software to then write code for said prototyper. Call me back when they replace a contact stylus with a unbent coat hanger to do some profile mapping of the little cum bubbles. That would be rotten.

And FWIW this poor brazilian jack off pioneered shit. Before my last round of surgery my doc got to play show and tell with a polystyrene model of the internals of my actual injury, showed me in a near lego like fashion where the pins would be going and such.

I like how they're pretending to be in awe of this old technology. Anyway, if I got knocked up I'd be holding it for real before you could say "walk-in". And if they tried to illegalize that, I'd be holding it for real before you could say, "tea" and then I could eat it, too.

On second thought, I'd go with that second one anyway.

It’s amazing to see the faces of the mothers. They can see the full scale of their baby, really understand the size of it,' said Dr Lopes. 'The technology can be also be used as an emotional tool for parents whose foetus might be deformed or need treatment,' added Hilary French, who heads the School of Architecture and Design Products. **** Okay, I'm fine with the first part, the doc's can even charge a little bit more to get enough copies for the grandparents and other family members. But that second bit sounds like an extremely cruel mindfuck if you ask me. The idea that you'd be carrying a genetic freak is probably shitty enough news already, but to be handed an actual plaster copy of it and seeing it for real? Seriously, what the fuck?!  "Here ya go Mrs. Smith, here's your abomination perfectly suitable for being placed in a shadow box to horrify you until your dying day. That'll be an extra $79.95 please."

Lovely! Now if they miscarry or loose the kid in some other way, You'll have a nice memento morte. Not sure about making em outta marzipan tho, imagine the grief if the dog eat it... Not to mention the nightmare of having to arrange a funeral for a dog turd!
