Would you get a fake baby?

I recently saw a documentary in youtube called, "My Fake Baby." I don't know if you guys have heard of it, it is actually pretty interesting. There is this lady in the documentary who sells dolls that look very realistic, well some of them. There are a lot of other people who also sell them online, and they can be quite expensive. The ladies that were in the documentary bought a doll because they looked very realistic and some of them couldn't have a baby or they missed having one. The husbands of course didn't understand much, but according to the womens, they have the instinct and they want to be around kids. Some of them even take them on their strollers around parks, to the grocery, they buy them expensive clothing. The woman that made them on the video said they could add breathing features to the baby make them feel and look more realistic that they already were. I for myself have nothing against it, I mean it is up to the person to do whatever they like. I wouldn't go around in a stroller with a baby or buy them expensive clothes, but its a free country they could do whatever they please! I feel bad for woman who can't have children, and I understand they would go ahead and try to replace it with a doll. What are your thoughts about this? If you haven't seen the documentary I recommend it, just type "My fake baby" in youtube and you can check it out! :)

Wow leprosa this is sure something different! No, I have not heard of this. And to be honest, I think it is very strange. I can understand not being able to have a baby and wanting one but, this just isnt realistic! It will never grow and you cannot really "raise" it,which is what being a parent is all about! I cannot believe they take them out for walks. I couldn't imagine walking past someone and glancing in at their stroller and seeing that. I think I would be scared as if maybe the lady was a Quack or something! I just cannot get over this, I have to check it out, thanks!!

Hello Marlena! I just heard about it today, but I have seen them before in other videos of collectors. There was this one woman that I knew that had a room full of china dolls and these realistic babies. I for one wouldn't take them out for walks either, but whatever floats their boats! :D Yes, check it out and tell me what you think marlena!
