So it looks like the Ontario Medical Association, because of ONE study, wants to ban keepsake ultrasounds-- ultrasounds done in order to bond with the baby.
A major doctors' group is calling on politicians to ban "entertainment" ultrasounds -- the increasingly common use of the technology for making souvenir snapshots and videos of fetuses.
The Ontario Medical Association also wants the province to generally prohibit anyone from buying or using a diagnostic imaging machine for other than medical uses, as California did recently in reaction to Tom Cruise's at-home ultrasound activities.

Ultrasound has been considered a relatively safe form of imaging; it does not emit the radiation that makes repeated X-rays a health risk. But there is some -- unconfirmed -- suspicion the scans could hurt the fetus; a study published in August found that ultrasounds negatively affected the development of brains in fetal mice.
So based on ONE study, we're to ban this?
In our society, you can get an abortion, you can drink, smoke cigarettes, do drugs, ingest anything, etc during pregnancy.
By God, DON'T get an extra ultrasound. That might KILL the baby.
Ridiculous. Absolutely assinine.
This same medical association is ready to chop up babies in the womb is concerned about excess radiation.
Isn't that a little rich?
