"Unbegotten Child" by Winston K. Marks is a science fiction story from the 1950s that looks at the strange case of Sara Caffey, a woman who denies she's pregnant even though doctors say she is. The story thinks about ideas like reproduction and evolution, asking big questions about how humans are born and how we might change as a species. Dr. Foley tries to understand Sara's situation when she comes to the hospital thinking she has a tumor. Doctors find out she's pregnant, which nobody believes at first. Dr. Sansome comes up with a bold idea that humans might be starting to reproduce without needing a partner because of evolution. In the end, Sara has a daughter who seems healthy, but a surprise is revealed that the baby doesn't have a navel, making everyone wonder about life, medicine, and nature. The story uses smart conversations and new ideas to make readers rethink what it means to be a mother and how babies are made.
