“It fills a spot in your heart,” says a defensive woman, speaking on the Today show, about her “reborn,” a life-like, very expensive (the most precious cost about $4,000) hand-crafted baby doll, so realistic, that thousands of British and North American women collect and play with them.**********
By “play” I mean that they dress them and push them around in strollers or carriages. They tuck them into their cribs at night, and rock and hold and cherish them.
FROM THE COMMENTS:
"Why don't these women volunteer at the local hospital neonatal intensive care unit? There are plenty of infants there who desperately need cuddling, and whose parents may be unable to do so because of distance."*
