Baby scan parties criticised for encouraging fetal rights

Baby scan parties criticised for encouraging foetus’ rights | News | The Christian Institute: Britain’s top midwife has criticised mums who celebrate their pregnancy by showing off scanned images of their baby because it might encourage people to consider the rights of unborn children.

In a column for the BBC News website Professor Cathy Warwick hit out at the practice of holding baby scan parties – dubbed “foetus parties” – where friends and family can view 3D or 4D images of an unborn baby.

The Chief Executive of the Royal College of Midwives questioned whether the parties encouraged the view that babies have a life of their own, and therefore rights, prior to birth.
