#anyway guess who was reading evangelium vitae and remembering just how bad the anti-life horrors can get?

[bookshelf-in-progress]

The thing about a world where there's an entire class of people who are considered non-persons is that things get really dark really fast.

It's dark enough when you start with the premise that their only options are "killed at birth" or "lifetime of enslavement", but when the story's about people trying to avoid or change that, you can deal with it.

It's when you start digging deeper into the implications of the things this group of people could be used for, and come up with things like "sex slaves" and "vivisections" and "lab rats" that it gets really yikes.

Which is why anything I write about this is going to stay very focused on the point-of-view and direct experiences of one main character, and I'll let you guys come up with those terrifying implications yourselves.
