Silicone molds. Sculpting. It's not that hard. You can 3d scan a sleeping babys face, import it into 3d modeling software and clean up the model. Smooth everything out, 3d print the model, smooth out the 3d print, then make and mold and cast it.
I was researching silicone molding material a year or so back and stumbled upon the fake baby stuff. There's videos on YouTube that demonstrate how this is all done. I don't think anyone is harming real babies to achieve these results. It is definitely creepy though. This is a hobby that adult women get into. I'm guessing most of them can't have children. It's kinda sad.
So you don't think there is more to this than simply marketing these dolls to infertile women? Have you seen anything older than...lets say 5 years old looking this realistic on the public market? My point being I would not be able to tell the difference between this and a real baby. Are they making adult versions of these? Answer - definitely.
