Just saw for the first time reborn dolls. They look freakishly real.

What are your thoughts on this?

Are these the ones that are personalised to be identical to a stillborn or baby who died at a very young age?

Not my thing, but some people claim it helps them process their loss and grief and is a form of momento.

as a photographer, I dont think you should repost the pics without a link. it might be looked at as stealing to repost them either way

My friend had one of these. Very creepy. If you get one, look after it. Once the paint chips it doesn't look real any more.

I've read about these dolls. I believe many of them are purchased by women who either have not had babies, or have lost babies, G-d forbid. To me, they simply show how desperately many women long to have babies. I don't think we should make unkind comments about these dolls, even if they may seem creepy or disturbing.

I guess they must use these in movies and on TV shows.

The first one looks EXACTLY like DD did at that age. shock

Google "uncanny valley" to find out why we are so creeped out by the idea. It's a fascinating psychological phenomenon.
