What is the Unwind AU?

Unwind is a book series by neal shusterman, and I found the concept super interesting and decided to make this. There was a civil war, people were having fights over reproductive rights, and eventually settled on making the bill of life. The following is a direct quote from the book that gives information about the main premise.

The bill of life

The Second Civil War, known as "The Heartland war", was a long and bloody conflict fought over a single issue

To end the war, a set of constitutional amendments known as "The Bill of Life" was passed.

It satisfied both the Pro-Life and Pro-Choice armies

The Bill of Life states that human life may not be touched from the moment of conception until a child reaches the age of thirteen.

However, between the ages of thirteen to eighteen, a parent may choose to retroactively "abort" a child...

... on the condition that the child's life doesn't "technically" end

The process by which a child is terminated and yet kept alive is called "unwinding".

Unwinding is now a common, and accepted practice in society.

So, Unwinding is basically when a kids parents send them off to a hospital if they are unwanted, and then the hospital takes the kids apart and use their body parts to help patients who needed them.

“ People wanted parts. Demand is more like it. A cancerous colon could be replaced with a healthy new one. An accident victim who would've died from internal injuries could get fresh organs. A wrinkled arthritic hand could be replaced by one fifty years younger. And all those parts had to come from somewhere. ” (Chapter 34 from Unwind)

What are my plans for this AU?

This will be a small side series. I am planning to do the other three mcs and then just leave it at that. I needed a small break from my accelerate AU stuff because I was burnt out from the amount of writing and drawing ive done for it. I may take requests for this AU if someone is absolutely desperate for a different character but I dont have anything like that planned.
