David F. asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Lois McMaster Bujold Not much more than the characters are realizing, I think, a moment of mourning for a personal opportunity of some closer relationship that never really was.

(Other readers may chime in with other interpretations. The hazard of leaving things subtly unspoken between the lines is that readers don't always fill in the blanks with what the writer had in mind.)

Ta, L.

Did you see this version? It's at www.theverge.com/2017/4/25/15421734/artificial-womb-fetus-biobag-uterus-lamb-sheep-birth-premie-preterm-infant (Kept getting error msg so truncated the url.). Don't think they gave credit where it is darned well due, however.

Christine asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

? Wanted to send you a note to say how much I have enjoyed the Vorkosigan saga. My husband introduced me to Shards of Honor, and I fell in love with your writing style and the characters. We just got a new puppy this weekend and named him Ivan. My husband wanted to be able to yell, "That idiot Ivan!" when the dog does something. Thought it was a perfect name for a lovable pup that will inevitably become a scapegoat.
