Teen Pregnancy in Mexico
Apparently, the Mexican province of Chihuahua has a serious problem with teen pregnancy. Approximately, 20% of all children born are born to mothers 19 and under. So, to combat this, they're giving out life-like dolls that are "programmed to cry for food, burp and wake up screaming at night until they are rocked back to sleep." Some even "show symptoms of withdrawal from alcohol or drugs, as if they were the offspring of addicts." All in all, I think it is a very clever way to introduce teenagers to the realities of having children.
