Title: The Vat: A Romantic Comedy
Author: Greg Egan
Length: short story
First Publication: Eidolon, 1990
What the Story is About: Harold runs part of the cultured human tissue facility – The Vat – and carries a torch for his co-worker Mary. His job begins to affect the way he views human life.
Note that this really isn’t really a “Romantic Comedy” in the usual sense, and I found it to be a disturbing story.
