À propos de cet audio
What if you could place your newborn into cryo-suspension until it was more convenient to bring him or her home?
Nora Collins works at the Postponement Center helping parents coordinate the controversial cryonic preservation of their newborn babies. Sometimes a choice for medical reasons, but more often because of career or educational obligations, financial aspirations, or due to parental immaturity.
Past child-bearing years herself, Nora secretly atones for past decisions by living a solitary life. She develops a questionable, borderline addictive, relationship with the frozen neonates, frequently watching them and communicating with them in their crypod units.
Routinely Nora is confronted by outraged protestors and must navigate an ethical minefield surrounding the postponement practice. She staunchly believes parents should choose for themselves when the time is right to bring their baby home—until she doesn’t.
After one mother decides to pre-maturely reanimate her son, forcing him into a life-threatening position, Nora struggles with her own dangerous choice—honor the desire of the new mother or save the innocent child.
