Seizure - Robin Cook - English

Edited by anniekins at 10-07-2023 20:43


Senator Ashley Butler is a quintessential Southern demagoguewhose support of traditional American values includes a knee-jerk reactionagainst virtually all biotechnologies. When he's called to chair a subcommitteeintroducing legislation to ban new cloning technology, the senator views hispolitical future in bold relief; and Dr. Daniel Lowell, inventor of thetechnique that will take stem cell research to the next level, sees a roadblockpositioned before his biotech startup.The two seemingly opposite personalities clash during thesenate hearings, but the men have a common desire. Butler's hunger forpolitical power far outstrips his concern for the unborn; and Lowell's pursuitof gargantuan personal wealth and celebrity overrides any considerations forpatients' well-being. Further complicating the proceedings is the confidentialnews that Senator Butler has developed Parkinson's disease-leading the senatorand the researcher into a Faustian pact. In a perilous attempt to prematurelyharness Lowell's new technology, the therapy leaves the senator with thehorrifying effects of temporal lobe epilepsy-seizures of the most bizarreorder.Torn from the headlines, Seizure is a cautionary tale for atime where biotechnology pulls us into a promising yet frightening new world.
