What a horrifying concept. Reminds me of the movie, Gattaca, updated with some of the GMO shenanigans of companies like Monsanto being overly aggressive with their agricultural patents. Great story, thanks for sharing!
I think I was reacting to reading Margaret Atwood’s Oryx & Crake at the time of writing, Gattaca is a great film and certainly an influence. Thanks for subscribing by the way!
Thanks Rosie, I wrote it so long ago it’s a struggle to remember what was influencing it, I guess it’s my eternal mistrust of corporations at play, now that I’m a dad for real, it carries a lot more meaning on a personal level.

That’s terrifying but such a plausible future reality. The sponsorship of children by corporations is horrifying. Really enjoyed this!

So glad you rescued this and stuck it up here. This was such an intertesting piece. Thanks
