"While grieving parents have long shared pictures of their stillborn babies in support groups, and have recently created virtual memorials to their lost children on the Internet, doctoring the images and publicly exhibiting them is a relatively new phenomenon."
This really bothers me for some reason. I do not pretend to be able to fathom the intense grief that accompanies the arrival a stillborn child, and I cannot say that I would not do the same if I were in their position; but taking a photo of the dead baby, digitally enhancing it and placing it on your mantle is, in my opinion, borderline morbid. I don't judge the poor souls who do this, but I have to wonder how healthy it is for them. I don't know.
