Read on DailyLit in 5 parts. I downloaded this around the same time that I read Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom and Extras, because I learned that the themes are similar. It's an interesting short story in the same way those stories are: science has advanced the body's potential, so that almost nothing natural happens any more. Ageless bodies, with (almost) all of time to live.

This story focuses on the grisly math of the concept, and what that means about population, birth, and death. (More or less, the story takes place in a maternity ward.) Actually, I especially wondered about this concept in the Uglies series -- if memory serves, "where babies come from" is never really addressed. This story also shares that series's sort of odd conservationist idealism that seems somehow suspicious.

"Your city thanks you; your country thanks you; your planet thanks you. But the deepest thanks of all is from future generations."
