3D fetal scan dangerously misleading for whom?

When I saw this headline, 3D foetal scans ‘dangerously misleading’ at the Daily Mail I thought it was referring to some sort of danger the scan posed to the child. As I see it, it was referring to the danger the U.K. doctors posed to the child.

The 3D images of unborn babies apparently behaving in a similar way to newborns raised questions over whether the upper limit for abortions should be reduced form 24 weeks.

However, a group of scientists has now warned the scans could be dangerously misleading as they do not reflect the true nature of an unborn baby’s brain.

Dr Donald Peebles, a consultant in foetal medicine at University College London, said the temptation to associate foetal movements with adult movements was “incredibly dangerous” and said they contributed nothing to the debate over whether the legal time limit for abortion should be lowered.

Dr Huseyin Mehmet, a reader in developmental neurobiology at Imperial College London, said that a foetal brain at 23 and 24 weeks was “extremely immature” and described it as being like an orange that has been sliced in half.

I don’t care whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, these doctors are sick. How can you refer to a baby like that? Here is the 3D photo of my Gabi.
Now tell me how this photo could be dangerous in any way? It is only dangerous to their argument and their business and they are dangerous for their disregard for human life.
