My first thought was that anyone trying to start the Rebellion or subvert the system to their advantage would need to fiddle with the ultrasound machines...mask the results and yet tag the child's records so they could keep track of the kid for future need. How much do you think blackmarket babies would sell for, in a society where there are so few kids born...? OR-*could* there be a blackmarket? Hmm. What kind of connections would a person have to have to get hold of a child illegally and then raise them without people wondering where it came from? Presumably, they'd have to educate the child, at least, even if they had a private doctor on staff...*frowns*

And how do you think women relate to the breeders? Sympathetic? Or angry, at their role being usurped? I'd look for terrorists in groups of ultra-conservative women-the Stepford Wives gone militant, as it were. Just because the breeders are innocent wouldn't stop anyone from blaming them. Enough to kill?


Um. One more thing. (Hey, it's your turn-I've already been pestering nilchance! *pokes you*) Do you think the heat could be postponed for a while via chemical injections? Like...hm, not estrogen or testosterone, but the juvenile equivalent-something that will keep the body chemistry "immature", while the person still grows up? C'mon Rebel scientists, get cracking!
