I see that an evaluation of one of those "here, look after this demanding, crying, robot baby and see what a pain baby care is, so you'll know not to get pregnant" programs with teenagers in WA actually ended up with more of the robot carers getting pregnant.
I'm a little puzzled by this. Haven't these programs been tried in the US for many, many years? They've featured in some sitcoms for a long time, I'm sure. Were those programs properly evaluated? Or does it depend on the location of the teenage population (with, for example, teenagers in remote towns with little to do finding that even caring for a robot or real baby is better than being bored?)
