Unwind

The futuristic novel that I have been reading is called Unwinds. It is a story about what might happen if America were to have a civil war over abortions. To end this civil war, the government came out with a "bill of life" which satisfied both parties. It stated that there could be no abortions, but when children were ages 13 to 18, the parents could choose for them to be "unwound." This unwinding is a process in which all of the person's organs and limbs and every part of them would be used for surgeries everywhere. So, in essense, all of the person was alive, just not... whole. It's one of those creapy, nasty books that you can't put down. I love how this book is really deep without leaning to either side of the abortion arguments. The writing is amazing, and I think that it opens doors to some life questions. READ IT!!!!!
