I don’t find the idea of dressing the baby all that strange because the hospitals usually allow that for parents of lost babies. And a lot of people take pictures of their stillborn babies too - there are even photographers who specialize in touching up the photos (google at your own risk). Very few share these photos with their students, though!
Just as long as you didn’t sign up for a ‘psych’ class at your local Dianetics center (#24 begins similarly to some questions from their infamous Personality Test).
