First I want to say. People don’t just put babies in jars because they "look pretty”.
This comment below pisses me off. Yes there are people in the world trying to conceive. But that is a completely off subject thing to say. The preservation of a fetus is for medical purposes ONLY! And most seen today are over 30 years old like the one you see above. (Notice the medical seal at the top and the decrease of fluid over many years)
The knowledge from preserved humans and animal help us understand more how they work and how to save them. All the preserved fetus' and fetal remains I have ever come across in my medical field were deceased from natural causes via miscarriage, preterm birth or stillbirth. I would like to stress the fact I am a parent. I have two children (with the help of fertility drugs). I also lost a child to SIDS and I have had an ectopic pregnancy which I donated the embryo and tissue to science. I also wish to express I have some pretty weird friends but not yet have I met a person who would keep a fetus in a jar on their mantle at home. It is a human. And I respect their beauty dead or alive. Human or not!

Wonderful for research purposes.

From the look of the photo the baby die from a cord accident, probably from strangalation due to the nuchal cord, and the wraps around its arms. Thank you for reminding people that a fetus is a baby, not a "piece of tissue, a tumor, a parasite, a kidney bean...."

Life is precious. We have the fortune to be living in this world. Let us not waste it. Thanks for showing these pics & remind us about it.

To g.ordon: I think your question is not complete.
Do you mean: Why did this baby die?
Or: Why do you show this photo?

Life is beautiful and this baby probably was one of its most beautiful ambassadors. It almost made it to this world as it looks. For some reason, it could not live though. But it makes us feel humble and thankful and calls our lovingly feelings for this little being. So: Why deny its comming into this world?

Let's thank him for reminding us about his comming.
