Do you think women who would buy these fake ReBorn babies are mentally ill, or can it be healthy to have, similar to a pet?

Channel 4 in the UK did a documentary on women and these fake baby dolls called ''Reborns.'' The dolls looks like human babies down the littlest details. They breathe, burp, cry and piss like real babies. Some even have beating heartbeats. The documentary follows several women that are really into these dolls, because they don't have time for real babies. One of the women, Sue, said she's spent almost $30,000 on these dolls. She even buys it clothes and takes it to the park, and fills a bottle with fabric softener, because it looks like milk. She says the babies satisfy her maternal instincts without commitment. Sue has 9 of them and is expecting another. She said, “I don’t see any of my girls as real babies. I know they’re dolls. I’m under no illusion but it’s just where I haven’t got children I guess there is still that female instinct in me.”
