They are sooo lifelike. I ws looking on ebay earlier at prices of the etc just out of intrest. There was one that was so damn real and it had a little mothercare outfit on with a avent dummy. Does anyone know what exactley happens in the reborning process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purdyamos Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 What I want to know is how anyone would would be able to give one away or anything when they'd had enough of it? I'd feel weird doing that to anything which looked so real. Now I'm getting visions of them lying on boot sale tables or in antique shops. Or even half-buried in landfill sites. *shudders*. Well if there's one thing this thread has shown it's what mixed, confusing feelings people have, and I'm still none the wiser about the precise reasoning behind the concept - collectible, interactive curiosity or therapeutic aid? I believe some schoolchildren are handed lifelike dolls to shock them into considering the possible consequences of a reckless adolescent lovelife. I wonder what the educational baby dolls are like compared to the reborns, and would the reborns have an extra creep factor to get the message home? The only models I've seen so realistic are by sculptor Ron Mueck. Exact in every detail, there is, however one aspect of his works that make them obviously not real!

The educational dolls are called "baby think it over". They don't look at all as real as the reborn dolls. When I worked with the youth service I had training with the dolls and they are as life like as you can get to a real baby (if that makes sense), they need love, routine, food and changing and wake at all hours. There was one "baby" that came from a "parent" that had a herion addiction, so the baby had all the symptoms, it was upsetting, but all too real. The link Purdy is very scary, even more sacry than those damn dolls!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
