Hyper-Realistic Newborns (10 pics)

For moms who want to remember how their precious newborn looked when he or she was first born, here comes the creepiest memento ever. Artist Glenda Etwart creates hyper-realistic dolls that not only look like your baby, with the exact skin-tone and birthmark, it can even smell like him or her too. It takes about a month for Etwart to create each newborn. In fact, about 20,000 strands of hair are placed by hand into each doll.

A disturbing side note to this: Some are sold to women who have experienced stillbirths or miscarriages.
