Mercy! What an awful thought!!
I am not an 'avid' collector. I simply like dolls. I made one porcelain doll many years agao and still have her. I love Lee Middleton dolls. I have a few cloth dolls that I designed and made. One large Uncle Sam doll. So, I think these reborns are simply precious, but then, I love babies so much. All babies. Human and animal.
But....making a baby to look like one that has passed on causes me to feel distressed. Much like those that would have their pet done at a taxidermist. The thought makes me ill.
Edited to add:
I don't consider these types of dolls to be anything at all like the dolls that men buy. That is something entirely different. The purpose behind those is certainly what I would consider a perversion of a sexual nature. Nope. Nothing like.
