A review by enyamorwen
The New Mother by Eugene Fischer

4.0

My only complaints:
-nobody mentioned the primary purpose of sexual reproduction (genetic diversity, adaptation rate, etc.) which is weird because the other implications were examined pretty thoroughly
-it only looked at US politics and social implications (which was excused in the story as the character writing for a magazine that only wanted to publish on US issues, but as a reader I think Tess could have at least seen some headlines hinting at what was happening in other countries with different politics and cultural trends)
-the open ending was enraging!! but that was probably the point so it's not exactly a complaint
