Re: Autopsy of Baby That Died from Thanatophoric Dysplasia
So we just get stuffed up with rags? I don't know if I could be able to subject my baby to getting autopsied. The thought of him/her being stuffed with rags...just doesn't sit well with me. :/

Sad, but really interesting, especially seeing the sections of the skull - there really isn't anything protecting the brain over the anterior fontanelle......so fragile.. |

Agree with kkw1811, that was very hard to watch. Much harder than watching an adult autopsy. Poor little guy. He looked really cute. I just Googled some images of this type of thing. Some have survived. |

Sad that the little guy didn't get a chance at life, but it was very interesting to see the procedure. The examiner was obviously very skilled. Really impressive watching him work.
