When the woman is alive and reveling in the joy of her growing child, it's one thing. When the woman is dead and only being kept alive so the baby can feed off of her, it's something different, because Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7463512.post-1123204683123030472005-08-04T21:18:00.000-04:002005-08-04T21:18:00.000-04:00There's no denying the fact that growing a child i...There's no denying the fact that growing a child in a dead woman's body is creepy. It's life-affirming and even pulling joy from pain in a twisted way -- but, yes, ew.<BR/><BR/>However, lots of things about living in squishy organic bodies are creepy or gross or both. How about the fact that a man can still father a child twenty minutes after he dies? Also creepy.

I found it really, really creepy, the idea that my body would be held in stasis so a kid could grow in it. But yea, it's her wishes, soooo...<BR/><BR/>It's the gray conflict that creeps me out more than anything.

But it occurs to me that the work necessary to maintain women in that comatose state as mere incubators isn't nearly as cost-efficient to the patriarchy as having us walking around taking care of ourselves and taking care of *them*, so wide-scale applications do not worry me. Just ugly occasional uses.<BR/><BR/>Mind you, if brain-dead women can be used to Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
