In some ways, these dolls act as a bridge between traditional and modern values, allowing families to engage with nurturing roles while sidestepping the various social pressures surrounding reproduction. For those who choose this path, the dolls can play a unique role in expressing love and care, contributing positively to the mental health of individuals coping with loss or the inability to have children. They can also provide companionship for the elderly or those in need of emotional support, extending their usefulness beyond just mimicking parenthood.
