Ok I might cop some flack for this but this is how I feel.
OK... I first thought perhaps that the producers didn't know about Kate's baby. After reading this thread and realising they did, then I think it is disgusting to put her in the situation of having to look after a robot baby, notwithstanding the potential duty of care issues that may arise from the effect on Kate.
However, I am with Klee, in some ways it has made stillbirth a topic of discussion. I had people come up to me at work and ask me if it would be ok if they asked me questions about my baby because they had no idea about stillbirth and really just wanted to inform themselves.
Now don't get me wrong, the fact that the producers knew makes it reprehensible, but if it brings stillbirth into the social conscience, then perhaps women in the future who lose their babies, won't feel as alone as I did.
Hey Spring,
While I agree that the issue of stillbirth should be out there and people will now know about it, I think it is a shame it had to be at Kate's suffering. I would hate to be in her situation and be the one that brings it to attention. But, on the other hand, I guess that if you go on a reality TV show, you must,nt mind the attention. I think that the whole way it was done with the task and the crying robot babies is just sad and horrible.
I couldn't agree more Bailey, Kate shouldn't have been put in that position. If she wanted to talk about her experience, it should have been here choice, not a result of being put in a particular circumstance.
Anyway, I have a headache so, over and out to this thread for me.
