BRAZIL (WRIC) – Most expectant mothers get a glimpse at their baby during ultrasounds, but if you’re pregnant and can’t see, the experience of an ultrasound may be less profound.
However, a video posted by the Brazilian branch of Huggies, called “Meeting Murilo,” is showing the world how one blind woman was able to bask in the incredible first ultrasound moment — even if she doesn’t have sight.
Tatiana Guerra, 30, has been blind for almost half of her life. She now primarily experiences the world through touch.
“If you could touch him, would that let you know what he’s like?” her doctor asks.
When Tatiana says yes, he presents her with a 3D-printed rendering of the ultrasound.
Tatiana could touch the model and use it to “meet” Murilo in a way she otherwise couldn’t until his birth.
it’s just a clump of cells /s
Sweet video at the link... And the 3D image is very neat!
This is cool!
One could easily sell them to new expecting parents.
Business opportunity?
Possibly the strongest weapon against abortion yet! Imagine women coming to work with tiny models of the babies in their tummies.
There is new technology which teaches and trains the brain to see by using the sense of touch instead of the eye. I’m reading about it in a book called “The Brain that Changes Itself.” The theory is that the brain is plastic and not the rigid computer that they thought it was for a long time.
Whether intended as such or not, that video has as powerful a pro-life message as you’ll ever see.
