Baran plays with her reborn baby doll at home in Tehran, Iran on October 7, 2020. With rosy cheeks, delicate eyelashes and a full head of hair, these hyper-realistic baby dolls are acting as surrogates for some Iranian families who are apprehensive of having more children. Reborn baby dolls can also be used to help grieving mothers cope with the loss of a child, or in Mojagn Zabhipour's case – a companion for her five-year-old Baran. Zabhipour said they decided to get the doll after their daughter's repeated requests for another sibling. (Photo by Majid Asgaripour/WANA (West Asia News Agency) via Reuters)
