My Fake Baby

So I was looking through different news headlines and saw one several days ago about how "fake babies" are becoming more and more popular in England and the US. I was thinking what the heck is a fake baby and so I watched this 5 part series called My Fake Baby on youtube. They won't let you put it on your blog, so if you want to watch it, you will have to go to youtube.com to search for it. Anyway - it's totally possible to see how there could come a point in our lifetimes when technology and artistry meet to the point that someone really could have a fake baby and you wouldn't even know it.

http://www.peachesandcreamnursery.com/adoptedbabys1.htm is a site that features EXTREMELY life like dolls. These dolls can have breathing mechanisims you can put in them as well as squirming and crying mechanisims. It was really amazing. I think that the problem comes when you fill the empytiness or hurts that you have with a THING be it alive or not - God is the only one who can fill us up. Several of the ladies on the video say they know their dolls are dolls but you get the feeling now and then that's not the case....that it just goes too far.

After watching the series my sweet husband made me my own fake baby that I named Leroy and he is pictured below. I don't feed him or anything - he is on the Fridge so I guess if he gets hungry he can get down and get his own food.
