L...I can think of two, but neither are romances...<br /><br />Lois McMaster Bujold introduces uterine replicators in the first book of her Vorkosigan series and as the books go on, they quietly revolutionize Barrayar. (When I first read the books I hadn't had my kids yet and was rather perplexed, I wanted the experience of being pregnant. By my third pregnancy, after eight months of nausea and swelling ankles, the idea was MUCH MORE attractive.)<br /><br />The second on is a hilarious Hugo-winning short story by Connie Willis called "Even the Queen". Basically, science has found a way to turn menstruation on and off with a shunt. I read it in story collection "Impossible Things" but I think it's been collected elsewhere as well.Nicole Luikenhttp://www.nicoleluiken.comnoreply@blogger.com
