After reading the story BloodChild in class, I read
it again and tried to understand it but I couldn't get over how graphic is was.
The story is about a society where humans are the minority. Humans or Terran
are animals to the Tlic that are used for birthing. When you start reading the
story you think it is about growing up and becoming an adult. It is exploring
the idea of losing your childhood and it explores other human themes. What i
thought was interesting is that they are using humans as basically just
property to make a creation. their function is to multiply. This
separates humans and technology completely. The Tlic say that the humans aren't
animals, they are hosts to create new lives stranding humans and non humans
together. The humans are reduced to a technological function.
I agree with the story in a way that people are put
here on this earth to multiply and make more babies. Everything that happens in
our lives is to support kids and their future.
Over centuries, people have come from different continents and have impregnated to create
new races and over time this has become just normal. This story takes it above
and beyond but at the same time, we are doing the same thing to women. We make
children with them and make new generations of humans. Humans are starting to
live longer and are becoming different in look, height, weight and even color. Many movies have also built of concepts like this to make sure that the human race stays in tact. Of course, this is a bit different but in all the demographics it totally fits with todays society and even previous generations.
