Title: cant be real
Post by: beez on 21/05/2006 12:06:17

hi all my first post . not a scientist . maybe scientist wana be.
any way i wanted to ask is there a way to make a dummy that looks and feels like a real body? if an ordinary man was to touch that body can he mistake it to be a real dead person?

There are (ahem..clears throat) some incredibly advanced and very expensive dolls that are really really close to the ' real thing '...I've tried to find a piccy that I could safely post but I can't...Once saw a documentary (yes really !) about the manufacturing process...the end result is very spooky !!

thanks.

the pic looks goood. except for the boobs the doll looks real.

so you'r telling me that if i wanted some one to believe that i was dead,i could have a dummy made that would look like me,feel like me,and would fool others into believing that it was my dead body.

i really really wana be sure .   l

beez...that is the link for timecops own website...it's part of his signature for his posts here.

I am sure , setting aside the doll above, that it is possible to create such a life like representation. Special effects departments in films do it all the time, especially when they want a ' body ' to move or fall or act like a real person.

Perhaps some more suggestions will follow...keep checking back
