Title: Abortion, Child Loss and Science Fiction.
Authors: McFarlane, Anna
Abstract: This creative non-fiction piece came from work done as part of the Visceral Bodies Symposium at Kingston University London, April 2023. The piece tells the story of an abortion, undertaken in response to foetal anomaly, and how science fiction and horror narratives offered succour throughout the experience. The piece aims to raise issues about the role that disclosing personal experiences can have in informing academic practice.
