There's a program on about them tonight on channel 4 at 10pm till 11.05.

What do you guys think?

If that second picture IS A DOLL, rather than a baby, then the artistic process is amazingly lifelike. Personally, I wouldn't want one but I admire the creativity that has gone into making a doll that realistic. I wonder though how vulnerable women are going to react - by that I mean women who are desperate to have a child but can't for whatever reason. Interested in other views.

I saw a sunday paper article about this a few weeks ago. I find them very unnerving

and actually a bit horrible. I agree with Angie in that those who can't have children or those that have maybe suffered a stillbirth would possibly find them distressing.

I definitely agree with Angie and Yola! I too find them a bit creepy.....

I watched a programme about these a few weeks back, they are just weirdos who have them, sorry but they are. One lady went to America to get one & stayed in a hotel to bond with it, then she realised the back of its head was all cracked..she was fuming! Another lady had one to replace her grandson that had gone to live abroad, these people treated them like babies, taking them out in prams & buying designer clothes for them.

i find them very scary to be honest. There would be just somethign creepy about them lying in a cot or whatever in your bedroom, forever staring at you!

they are spooky, and i think the company are capitalizing on those who have lost a baby through a sad experience.
i wouldnt want one sorry.

The same programme was repeated last night. I just couldn't get my head round it tbh. That woman who spent nearly £300 in Harrods on clothes!!

Yeah that was way to weird! There's a wire loose somewhere with her!

It's SO SAD - is it too hard for people with these difficulties to get the counseling they obviously need?
