Beauty pageants for fetuses in Hungary
Change language:
Beauty pageants are now being held for fetuses still in the womb in Budapest.
The Hintaló Children’s Rights Foundation received an observation which may as well be a complaint. One of Budapest’s most famous gynaecological and obstetrics private clinic, the Genetic Diagnostics, Gynaecology and Family Planning Centre of Istenhegy, has held beauty competitions for fetuses for months, according to Index.
They use four- or five-dimensional ultrasound pictures of the not-yet-born infants, which, after the consent of the parents, are uploaded to Facebook in posts containing the name and age of the fetus, where the public can vote for “fetus of the month.”
As if this bizarre picture of a 30-something week old fetus, which looks like clay, will provide any sort of aesthetic pleasure or a unique look.
And yet, every month there are about a dozen candidates for the contest.
