birth
The processes of being born.
Of nature, humans procreated through the sexual congress of a male and a female, which facilitated the genetic transfer of male material into the female, who them gestated the gestalt in her abdomen and expelled it through her sexual organ nine months later. This was a process fraught with complication and difficulty.
By the year 2100, it was common for persons to reserve sex for recreation, and to do the business of procreation in a laboratory, where the carefully determined and randomized offspring of one, two or more persons could be examined and preserved for its health and wellbeing. Such unbirthed proto-children could be preserved for years, while the parents prepared their circumstances. The eventual birth, or, the removal of the machinery, was still an occasion of great importance and ritual, but contained less blood and screaming than previously.
