Fiction Family Life | Science Fiction
Imagine a near-future city, say London, where medical
science has advanced beyond our own and a single-dose pill
has been developed that, taken when pregnant, eradicates
many common genetic defects from an unborn child. Hope
Morrison, mother of a hyperactive four-year-old, is
expecting her second child. She refuses to take The Fix, as
the pill is known. This divides her family and friends and
puts her and her husband in danger of imprisonment or worse.
Is her decision a private matter of individual choice, or is
it tantamount to willful neglect of her unborn child? A
plausible and original novel with sinister echoes of 1984
and Brave New World.
