Real Life “The Giver”
Real life The Giver - remember that book? In India, women in “farms” being paid to have babies for other couples (including US couples)!
If you haven’t read The Giver, or don’t remember it… at 13 (IIRC) teens were assigned by the government to their role in society. One of the roles was for girls to become birthing moms, who would produce all the new-borns for the city (the government distributed required pills). And while this “baby farm” outsourcing in India is certainly a far ways away from that, it’s still eerily reminiscent.
The Giver. Good book. Need to read it again. Dang my growing reading list. I still need to finish His Dark Materials, read enough of my web development books to learn Ruby on Rails and get better at Javascript, and I still want to read/re-read the entire HP series. Sigh.
