Becky Chambers
Becky Chambers is an American science fiction author known for her Wayfarers series, which explores themes of diversity and connection in space.
"She would never, ever understand the idea that a child, especially an infant, was of more value than an adult who had already gained all the skills needed to benefit the community. The death of potential was somehow worse than a loss of achievement and knowledge was something she had never been able to wrap her brain around."
