Hey all! I'm working on a story idea, or perhaps two story ideas, not sure yet. Here's what I've got. Looking for some thoughts and feedback before I jump into writing.

TITLE IDEAS

Option 1: Under the Shadow of the Moon

Option 2: Beneath the Shade of the Moon

PLOT IDEAS

Option 1:

The year is 2030. An IVF baby, now grown, learns of his IVF origins, and begins a desperate search to find his siblings, unsure if they are trapped in time, frozen in some clinic, or living another life hundreds of miles away. Frustration with this new revelation, coupled with the immense struggle of trying to find his siblings, boils over and the man finds himself weighing his own value and considering the means by which he might reunite with his lost siblings.

Option 2:

Obscure year. A technologically advanced near future. A man exploring the possibility of alternate timelines discovers an old book with a photo of another man who looks remarkably like him. Further investigation leads him to conclude the man in the picture doesn't belong in the time he is portrayed. Interest piqued, the man searches for other examples of this, hoping to prove tike travel, dimensonal crossing, or the existence of a multiverse. Finding more, he concludes these people are not from the times, or perhaps timelines, they appear in. Partnering with a team of engineers, they create a device that will allow them to send a probe back in time. The man discovers these people are actually his siblings, lost to time, and he begins a desperate race to bring them home.

Open to any feedback at all! Thanks!

So the other day I was sitting in my car, thinking about this and that, and then I had this thought:

What happens if, in the future, IVF babies miss or want to meet their "siblings" that were made at the same time?

Like picture this:

The year is 2030. An IVF baby, now grown, learns of his IVF origins, and begins a desperate search to find his siblings, unsure if they are trapped in time, frozen in some clinic, or living another life hundreds of miles away. Frustration with this new revelation, coupled with the immense struggle of trying to find his siblings, boils over and the man finds himself weighing his own value and considering the means by which he might reunite with his lost siblings.

UPDATE

I suppose an update is in order. I'm an IVF baby myself. Understand the process very well. I understand most embryos are destroyed or frozen indefinitely. Others can be donated for research or to surrogates.

My point of the question was what happens when people like me want to try to meet our IVF siblings? Because the answer I've personally discovered is it's very hard, if not downright impossible. Better yet, what if I want to claim my siblings, save them from an eternal freezer?

Then what?

Hey all! I'm working on a story idea, or perhaps two story ideas, not sure yet. Here's what I've got. Looking for some thoughts and feedback before I jump into writing.
