3-Month Pregnancies for Hire: A Pure Fantasy?

March 25, 2011

Silver Sling, an 11-minute film by director Tze Chun, is another cinematic gem from the Future States series that Biopolitical Times blogged on last week. The film presents a future scenario in which affluent couples hire young women, some of them immigrants, to undergo “accelerated pregnancies” lasting only three months. Surrogates can undergo three such pregnancies before becoming sterile. (CGS)
