In the department of Toluca, Mexico, an experiment is conducted to reduce the number of "undesirable" pregnancies in minors using electronic dolls that copy all the characteristics of a two-month-old baby.

In one of the schools of the department, before each weekend, 20 young couples from among senior pupils are awarded on such a doll. Within two days, 14-15-year-old "parents" should take care of the electronic baby - feed, change diapers, rocking - as it happens in real life. Special electronic bracelets record every action of "parents", noting also their neglect of their duties.

As the employees of the municipal Women's Center say, who conducts the experiment, his first results surpassed all expectations.

The teenagers participating in the experiment unanimously recognized that they are not ready to become parents at such a young age and will take all measures to ensure that their children are born at a later age. According to the Ministry of Health of Mexico, annually in the country as a result of "unwanted" pregnancies, 300 thousand children are born. The vast majority of them are abandoned, as young couples lack the strength or ability to raise a child medicus. En.
