Daily Mail:
"Stunning new technology allows parents to hold a life-size model of their unborn child" Includes this quote:
'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.
For those who don't know, the Daily Mail is a conservative paper, and generally anti-abortion. So I assume the intended meaning is that the technology could be used to give parents a more palpable sense of the life of their child, rather than taking an "out of sight, out of mind" attitude.
