Women all over Britain are becoming mothers to newborn infants - except their babies aren’t real, they’re “reborns”.

A woman is making and selling dolls that look identical to a real baby and people are buying them in droves, looking to fulfill their maternal instincts.

Whether it be those who cannot conceive, those who have suffered the loss of a young child or those who simply want to experience motherhood, these babies are the perfect replacement to the real thing.

The dolls have beating hearts, soft skin and lifelike veins.

A documentary about the babies and the women who own them aired in the UK originally and last night in the US on BBC America - which I missed, dammit.

Did anyone catch this? I am totally hoping for it to air again. I love twisted sh*t like this..
