To think “miscarriage jewellery” is sick?

It won’t let me upload a picture and it’s quite graphic but basically they are models of embryos and early foetuses encased in resin.
firstly who wants to picture and remember their baby like that? Looking like deformed aliens and secondly wearing that would force and trigger other women of their miscarriages. They look hideous.. I think Is nothing sacred anymore?

Clearly some people do or there wouldn't be a shop for it! It's not to my taste but if it helps people then I don't see the problem and I don't think it's sick

YABU for 'deformed aliens'

It's a bit exploitative isn't it though?

Can you imagine the mental gymnastics of someone thinking: "Oooh there's a gap in the market for people who have lost a child to miscarriage and want to wear a preserved embryo around their neck?" I doubt that's something that is driven by market forces.

Unless it was being done with a specific goal such as to raise awareness or money for charity it would feel a bit like profiteering from people's unhappiness.

I've never had a miscarriage (or been pregnant) myself but I think women who have miscarried have already had a difficult enough time without people judging them for the way they choose to remember their lost babies and calling them 'sick'.

I also think a close family member of mine who miscarried at 20 weeks would be incredibly upset at hearing her child described as 'hideous' or 'looking like a deformed alien'. She wouldn't wear miscarriage jewellery in a million years, but she does have photos of the child she miscarried and to her, he was beautiful and perfect.
