Donnalors

Good morning world, this is Donnalors. Let me explain. It is the year 3084 and probably very different from your world if you are living in a different time. For one thing, the earth is very crowded - there are almost 20 trillion of us. You probably assumed that we would have numerical identification with so numerous a population. Yes, some of us do, but that is by choice. After the Nomiation Laws were passed some years ago, it became illegal for the government to assign numbers and/or bar codes or any systematic form of identification. This practice was outlawed mainly due to the cost.

So, when I was incepted, I was given my name - Donnalors - at the inception compound. An inception compound is where most people are now created. People stopped giving birth years ago as the males became extinct and there is now virtually no male seed left in the world. Or, so it is said. There is talk of shutting down some - perhaps all - of the incept centers as we are too numerous. I really do agree with this. Actually, giving birth is now illegal, even though it is impossible. But even in a crowded world such as this, there are still some secrets and rumors. Rumors are many. But the rumor about some still possessing the male seed - still frozen - after many, many years are kept very secret. I will return to this.

Why are there no males? Virtually all male animals ceased to exist years ago due to the contamination of the environment by bisphenol A and phthalates. It was found that these materials did result in a reduction of all male characteristics, such as; genitalia, sperm and fertility. The government did have to pass laws creating incept centers for fear of a severe population implosion. The incept centers were created right after the great floods, fortunately. Not being near a coastline may have saved our species. The floods happened in all oceans, after the great global warming crisis in the year 2584. They say there were several such warming crises in previous years.

The same things, industries and so on that created bisphenol A and phthalates also created the global warming crisis. Thus warming up our world, all ice and snow - everywhere - melted. Thus rising the oceans and flooding the old world and destroying its coastal zones. It was a time of great chaos, as many of the most populous cities were flooded and wiped out. These structures still exist visited now only by archaeologists and other scientists. Settlements are strictly forbidden in these areas. The fear is that, even now, the earth will grow hot again and decimate these areas again. The say only plants and a very few animals still live there. That is, those that have adapted to reproducing without males. It is a very female world.

My world, has virtually no nations. There is only The Americas and China. This is due to the great populations in both nations. The Americas and China are virtually two single population centers. There are no cities, no towns, no villages, no states, no provinces and no prefectures. Humanity and its environs are virtually split in two. In my continent (The Americas) there are only two political parties: The Free Party and The China Party. Please understand, they are not what they sound like. The Free Party supports the "right to inception" (that is, they are firmly against all regulations and laws promoting birth). The China Party supports the "right to single birth", that is, all persons who are able, should be allowed to give birth to at least a single child. Impossible, though in a world without males? Can you guess which party I belong to?

Some of us have been secretly meeting with certain members of The China Party. Their anonymity must be maintained in order to support their secret program. I have met with them several times. They want me to have a child. They have told me that they do have access - illegal - to some frozen sperm and embryos. I was shocked at the part about the embryos. I told them I want to give birth to a male - that is, a son. They have said that they might be able to arrange this. It would be a historic case, of course. I told them I am worried about being caught and losing my child. They have explained the law on this. It is illegal for any body or party or government or agency to practice abortion without consent. And "my crime" (I am not yet with child as I write this) is a biological crime, the laws are very sketchy here. It was considered too controversial to outlaw giving birth altogether. But, it is actively discouraged and intimidation tactics such as lawsuits and detention could be used. But, we have not heard of this. Nor have we heard of anybody else giving birth due to the complete absence of males.
