LST FAVES: Real Teens, Fake Babies

LST FAVES: Real Teens, Fake Babies

Did your high school health teacher ever try to teach you the risks of sex by making you carry around an egg and pretend it was a baby? These days, the pretending isn’t as much of a stretch. Lots of schools are opting to use robotic babies that cry throughout the day and night just like a real infant. In this episode, we follow two teenage girls over the course of 48 hours with the “babies,” and their conclusions surprise us! We also revisit the story after an eye-opening study in The Lancet that shed new light on our reporting. ⭐️ Versions of this episode originally aired on March 1, 2015 and November 16, 2016 and the story is a favorite from the LST archives. It’s also part of our ongoing Sex & Parenthood series. We’ve been airing a few episodes from the series over the next few weeks, while we gear up for our next batch of new episodes.
