These are life-like dolls designed to look just like a human baby. Some of these dolls even cry and can be calmed using a pacifier.

After the video went viral, it sparked a debate among people on the internet, who discussed if these dolls should be seen like other toys or considered creepy and a challenge to social order. The debate on the internet gained enough attention for the topic to be discussed by the lawmakers of the country.

Jao Liz, a lawmaker from Amazona, wanted such dolls to be banned as they are creating a challenge for country’s health care system. However, there is no official record of any such case being brought to the hospitals.

The internet is now divided between people who consider these dolls as a way of therapy and parenting practice and those who consider these dolls as creepy and want to get them banned.
