At one of my previous jobs I processed film. Back in the olden days when to take a picture required film.

One of the local hospitals had the creepiest of program (in my mind.) I cannot even begin to fathom the feelings of a woman or couple that has lost a baby due to miscarriage. I do understand there is real emotion and pain involved with the loss and I really do sympathize for their loss.

Back to my point. That hospital had a program that dealt with the pain and loss. They would take photographs of the fetus and place it in a tiny little casket. They would have a full funeral service for the fetus. The pictures of the fetus in the casket were for the parents. I sure hope the parents never saw the medical photos of the fetus next to a ruler documenting the fetus. I am no medical professional but it was evident mother nature had said NO on a fetus and caused the mother to miscarry. There were some real freaky babies. No aliens just mother nature correcting a mistake.

They did their best to make the fetus look normal in a tiny casket.

I had a sign I would put up on my door to warn other employees to stay away when I had the disturbing photos out on the table for production and sorting. More than one employee ran out crying when she ignored the sign.
