What if the most natural human act became a crime?
In Humana: The Last Birth, Claudette Owens delivers a gripping dystopian thriller set in a chilling future where natural childbirth has been outlawed and every new life must be approved by the state.
When Sarah discovers she is pregnant, she and her partner Jimmy are thrust into a dangerous reality where "unauthorized" births are hunted, and infants are taken in the name of public health. With the government enforcing mandatory gestational control and surveillance tightening around them, Sarah must choose between compliance... or risking everything to protect her child.
Forced into hiding, aided by a small network of underground survivors, Sarah navigates a world of fear, secrecy, and resistance. As her pregnancy advances, so does the danger; pushing her to the edge of survival, love, and defiance.
Raw, emotional, and hauntingly plausible, Humana: The Last Birth explores themes of bodily autonomy, motherhood, and the cost of control in a society where humanity itself is regulated.
