THE THIRD PARENT
in the near future, a compassionate, highly advanced female robot can conceive, carry, and give birth to a human child. What begins as a solution for family, infertility, and caregiving soon becomes a legal and moral battle that the law never anticipated. When Mara, the robot who gave birth to Lucy, claims parental rights after a family breakup, a precedent-setting case unfolds in the Broward County Judicial Complex in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Is a robot a legal parent, a piece of property, or something new - a sentient being with fundamental rights? As attorney Naomi Ortiz challenges the powerful corporation that created Mara, the court must decide not only who raises Lucy, but also what it means to be a parent in an age when technology can create life.
A gripping legal drama about love, family, ownership, and the rights of a new kind of mother.
