Brazil's Congress considers fines for reborn doll benefit fraud

A new bill in Brazil's Congress proposes fines for individuals attempting to gain benefits using hyper-realistic "reborn" dolls, which mimic newborns. This follows growing controversy on social media. The dolls, often treated as real babies by some adults, have sparked debate. Videos show people taking them to appointments and seeking preferential treatment, leading to criticism and questions about the dolls' use. The dolls, costing up to R$9,500, are highly detailed and customizable. The proposed law aims to address concerns about exploiting the dolls to access services intended for actual infants.
