Ilang pamilya umano sa Iran na hindi pa handang magkaroon o magdagdag ng bata ang bumibili ng manikang mukhang bata para alagaan.

Sa Twitter post ng Reuters, sinabing hyper-realistic ang mga manika na mayroong "rosy cheeks, delicate eyelashes, and a full head of hair."

Ang mga manika na tinawag na "reborn" ay idinisenyo ni Maryam Aghayee.

 

 

"Many of the customers for these reborn baby dolls are those whose children are complaining of being only-children in their families, wanting a sibling. Parents provide them with these dolls to stop their nagging and complaining," sabi ni Aghayee.

May mga pamilya umano na isa lang ang anak dahil na rin sa malaking gastusin sa pagpapalaki ng bata.

"Some people think that having one child is a kind of social prestige, others think they can spend more time with only one child. But they don't realize that having a real sibling cannot be replaced in this way," saad niya.--Reuters/FRJ, GMA News
