You may worry about the implications of social networking website members who aren't genuine; however, Marriah Greene's Facebook account as an example of such an online personality that's at little risk of causing any harm.
The 4-month-old embryo was announced to the world via social media since her parents, Matthew and Ellie felt it was the most efficient way to do so. Within the first day, the unborn infant had over 100 Facebook friends, and since then, has been "interacting" with her online community. Mom and dad use their daughter Marriah Greene's Facebook profile to update their own friends and family about the progress of the pregnancy. They hope to keep control of the account for a few years as a way to log peoples' interest in the girl's early life.
