Dead Life
“ Several years ago a promising young scientist working on a cure for patients infected with flesh-eating bacteria had a major breakthrough. Taking DNA from a simple one-celled Amoeba Proteus and transplanting it into a common virus, he was able to create an organism that would basically eat the bacteria. The theory was that the body would then respond to the virus by producing enough white blood cells to destroy the virus.
Cultured bacteria quickly succumbed to the vi...rus in the Petri dish. White blood cells introduced to the virus quickly overwhelmed it. Testing on animal subjects went well. Mice, cats, dogs and even primates all responded well within the parameters to justify further testing. The drug had a ninety percent cure rate. The other ten percent suffered from a reaction to the medication and had to be taken off treatment. In these subjects, the infection ran it’s course inevitably ending in death. Still, a ninety percent cure rate was an amazing result. The drug was to be a success. It was time to gain approval to begin trials on humans.MoreLess
