On an unrelated topic...

So my roommate recommended this book to me, "Unwound." It's the story of a future where instead of abortion, parents can choose to "unwind" their kids by a certain age. Basically unwinding is completely erasing a person and using what was their body to benefit others. It's considered more humane because every body part is donated or used in some way, and parents are freed of what may have been considered problem children. I'm not saying it was the most well-written book I've ever read, or even all that well developed, but the basic idea presents an interesting concept. In this future, an unwanted baby could be "storked" at someone's doorstep. If you didn't want your baby, all you had to do was leave it at someone's door without being caught and you were home free and that person was responsible for raising it as their own. It's crazy to imagine a reality like that, with limited responsibility and the constant knowledge that you could be destroyed at any moment.
