Unbegotten Child

The story follows a skeptical hospital resident who examines a woman insisting she is a lifelong virgin yet is found to carry a six-month fetus; colleagues and a visiting French surgeon review records and debate the diagnosis. As tests and correspondence with a Paris clinic proceed, the surgeon advances a startling biological hypothesis that challenges established medical explanations and invokes evolutionary or reproductive anomaly. The narrative centers on clinical investigation and professional disagreement, juxtaposing routine diagnostic procedure with an extraordinary theory about unexpected human gestation and the ethical and practical consequences of such a claim.
