Baby-imaging   (+5, -1)  [vote for, against]
Merge parents faces to indicate possible baby

This may be recommended as a prerequisite to marriage. Don't tie the knot till you've assessed how your offspring might look. Photobooths would provide a facility for both prospective parents to be photographed side by side, but the prints would be of merged images, possibly in a strip of five showing very-him, more-him-than-her, equal-mix, more-her-than-him, and very-her. Marriage would only proceed if both partners agree that they find all five outcomes acceptable.

Apologies if Peter is right and it's been covered already. I'm new here and couldn't see it listed.

Peter: Didn't that hurt?

OK, I've now seen the 'Morphing' thread to which Peter referred and will transfer my comments there and close this one (unless there is a sudden surge of support for keeping this one going).
