Julie Bailue's "Egg Sharing" (flash fiction, science fiction, free): Near future implications of sperm or egg donation

Two strangers uncomfortably share breakfast at a table in a restaurant; then go their separate ways. "They do not know they share a mother, Caroline, a woman so eager to have a baby she volunteered for the then-revolutionary egg-sharing scheme." One was naturally born; other through egg donation in a family unknown to genetic mother.

Scene of uncomfortable table sharing is so familiar to every Bombay suburban commuter who stops by at an Udupi joint!
