    @stopthatgirl7 Gilead, like most dystopian fictions, was supposed to be a warning and ended up becoming a blueprint instead.

      Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale

      Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus

    I mean a fetus is closer to a parasite than a person. It doesn’t have thoughts as we know them, no personality - the real things that makes you human.

    I’d say until that parasite has exited and cut from the host, the host gets to choose what happens and when.
