The Declaration by Gemma Malley

Imagine that you could live forever...

What would you do, where would you go?

But if everybody lived forever it would be pretty crowded wouldn't it and resources would be scarce wouldn't they?

So perhaps we wouldn't want any new people to be born - to take up space, to use resources

What would happen to people who wanted children, who refused to sign The Declaration.

This is the first book in a trilogy which is a great tale of what happens when children are banned and death is defeated.
What is important in your life when it will never end?
