"Rest assured, Doctor, that this research will be kept quiet and on a separate file system than our main frame," he explained. "For some of our more secret stuff, we keep it isolated. I do not need to explain how hackers can be and how houses or even groups can "force" someone to grant access to files. Fortunately, this has not happened to us as of yet and we try to keep it that way."

I started this research years ago when I had a young woman who had experimented with cardamine "for kicks" as she explained only to learn she was infertile as a result. I do not feel that the stupidity of youth should be made to pay a lifetime debt of consequence for a moment of bad decision. Only those who wish the treatment and to participate will be treated. You have my word on that!"
