"There was no way to reverse the process. How can you ask a world to put away that cure, to go back to the dark days. There was no going back."(Miss Emily, page 263)
Oh my. OH MY. OH MY GOSH! Yeah, that was NOT what I was expecting, but I appreciate the thorough explanation. It goes back to what I harped about all of Brave Ne World, which is the worthy cause of human rights. I can easily see how this could turn to reality. Once on the verge of a discovery, no one wants to give up because of a petty thing like human rights. (sarcasm.) This book is why pro-life activists fight so hard against ALL forms of embryonic stem cell research and cloning and abortion and contraception: it's a slippery slope. In the words of the Phantom of the Opera, it becomes "past the point of no return, the final threshold! The bridge is crossed so stand and watch it burn." Great song, and very applicable to this book.
