《分解人》【被支解的軀體 重新組裝的未來】


現行法規禁止墮胎，保障受精卵成人的權力，但保障只到13歲。到18歲前，其父母可自行決定是否分解孩子，他們的軀幹與臟器可以移植，算是生命延續的另一種方式而非終結。

但將遭分解的孩子，並非每個人都對政府與雙親的支配照單全收，逃家的「分解人」自成一國，面對各方勢力、甚至是由分解器官組出誕生的新人類，誰能信任、而生命的意義又是什麼？


After America’s Second Civil War, the Pro-Choice and Pro-Life armies came to an agreement. According to their Bill of Life, human life may not be terminated from the moment of conception until the age of thirteen. But between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, the child may be gotten rid of by their parent through a process called “unwinding.”By repurposing a teen’s organs and other body parts in living recipients, the unwound child’s life doesn’t technically end. According to society’s leaders, unwinding leads to a healthier and safer community, as troublesome and unwanted teens are used for the greater good.Curtis is a rebel whose unwinding was ordered by his parents. Rita, a ward of the state, has been slated for unwinding due to cost cutting. And Lev, his parents’ tenth child, has been destined for unwinding since birth as a religious tithe. As their paths intersect, they start to fight for their own destinies. But do they stand a chance of escaping their fate or proving their lives are worth saving?
