Printing 3D models of fetuses
2017-08-09
Parents can now order 3D models of their fetus at Hong Kong Adventist Hospital, a new service that allowed parents who are expecting a child to touch their baby’s face – even before the baby is born. Hong Kong Adventist Hospital becomes the first private hospital to offer such a service. This service would also benefit visually impaired parents who are unable to see ultrasound images. Parents can choose between a plain or colored 3D model of their unborn child’s face, and they can even opt to encase the model in a crystal-like material. (Source: South China Morning Post)
