In the new millennium, when scientists completely understood the human DNA code, advances in medicine became astoundingly rapid. For the wealthy, embryonic screening eliminated every hereditary disease; embryonic stem-cell technology led to an industry of organ cultivation, and the extremely wealthy were able to extend their lives by purchasing new hearts and livers, custom ordered from a laboratory.

It didn’t stop there.

Understand that at the one-cell stage, an embryo is much like an egg. The outer cell wall is like the shell. The nucleus at the center is the yolk, containing the DNA that programs the growth of that embryo. Soon, the one cell divides into two, then four, then eight, and continues to divide.

Different strands of DNA are coded to become active as cells begin to specialize. Scientists learned early to take advantage of this. They first learned to create flies that had up to fourteen pairs of eyes, simply by adding a snippet of DNA into the nucleus at the one-cell stage.

Because every cell contains the entire DNA code for that organism, any changes inserted into the nucleus at the one-cell stage will be replicated in the nucleus of every new cell created. Once the embryo matures to adulthood and reproduces, it will pass these changes to the next generation of its species through its offspring. Thus biotechnology and the funds and the secret blessing of certain military agencies literally gave scientists the power to begin to reengineer the human species.

In your innocent childhood, you were unable to comprehend what science had given to you. And stolen from you because of the solitude and loneliness inflicted upon you with a single injection of a DNA strand into the single embryonic cell which became your being…
