Chapter 181
The baby could never be born.
"This is the consequence of tampering with human genomes. Sophia was born a superhuman. She was naturally immune to various diseases, but it also means that her body isn’t suited for reproduction since her birth."
"Much like a mule bred from a donkey and a horse. A mule is incapable of reproduction."
Sophia was the metaphorical mule in question. It would be impossible for her to conceive a child, let alone a healthy one.
Genome editing was a bit like Pandora’s box. Once it was opened, the consequences that followed were unpredictable.
"This isn’t a trivial matter. It’s honestly terrifying. The scope of implications is very broad. Sophia was probably not their sole experimental subject. There must be an evil and terrifying organization that had everything planned."
Eason tapped on the table and continued, "We first learned about the genius selection, then learned about the missing teenagers. Serial killings along with dismemberment cases were thrown into the mix as well.
Looking back at this case concerning genome editing, everything seemed unrelated. Who knew that they’d end up inter-relating to one another?"
Eason suddenly showed a remarkable shred of his intelligence.
Perhaps he had always been this smart.
It was just a pity that he figured it out a bit later than someone else.
