Author's research blog for the medical science techno-thriller A REMEDY FOR DEATH
It's said that we only go around once in life . . . at least that's the way it's always been.
But what if? What if the terms of life have changed . . . for an elite, self-selected few?
What if today's emerging bio-tech and regenerative medical technologies—including the ability to regrow and implant body parts and organs—offer the chance for another whole go-round in life to a select, secretive few . . . a chance to come back, as one of them puts it, into “healthy, horny 21-year old bodies complete with all our accumulated savvy from this lifetime”?
A REMEDY FOR DEATH–Frankenstein and eternal youth in the age of bio-tech, tissue engineering, cloning, and regenerative medicine.
What if the project is almost successful . . . but opens dangerous doors . . . doors that cannot be closed?
A REMEDY FOR DEATH is fiction, but based on a great deal of keeping-up with what's happening in the various fields that make up what we know as bio-tech, regenerative medicine, and the role of the human mind. I'll be sharing some of that here on this blog, to which I'll be adding other items that I haven't yet posted . . . as well as news of discoveries to come.
