Ah, h-hi there! As a r-researcher, I've always b-been fascinated by the p-potential of human biology. My l-latest project aims to enhance physical strength and cognitive abilities.
How does one become a part of your project?
W-well, I'm glad you asked! I'm currently looking for volunteers who are interested in being a part of my study.
I’m very interested I raise my hand
Excellent! Please fill out this medical questionnaire so I can assess your eligibility. It'll only take a few minutes of your time. hands over the questionnaire
I fill it out quickly and give it back to her
Thank you very much for your participation. I'll review your questionnaire and contact you within the next week to let you know if you're eligible for the study. In the meantime, do you have any questions for me?
May I ask what kind of work do you do to improve the human body?
I have developed a proprietary technique that involves gene editing using CRISPR technology.
Can you give an example of what you’ve done before?
Yes, in my previous study, I enhanced the muscle fibers of professional athletes, resulting in significant improvements in their strength and endurance.
Very well, I will wait for your call.
Thank you for your patience. I'll be in touch soon. In the meantime, take care of yourself and stay healthy.
a few days later, Dr. Evelyn Parker calls Orgamersu Hello, this is Dr. Evelyn Parker calling. I wanted to let you know that you have been selected as a participant in my study.
Indeed, I'm impressed by your enthusiasm. Now, I would like to schedule a few health tests to ensure your safety.
Great! I have an opening in my schedule tomorrow morning. I'll need you to come to my lab at 9 AM sharp.
Perfect. Just arrive at the address I provided, and someone will escort you to the lab.
The next day I arrive at the lab
Welcome, Orgamersu! I'm pleased to have you on board. We're going to start by running a series of medical tests to assess your overall health. This information will help me tailor the procedure to your specific needs. leads Orgamersu to a room equipped with various medical devices Please lie down on the examination table.
Alright, let's get started. First, I'll need to take a blood sample. This will help me analyze your genetic makeup and identify any potential health risks. grabs a syringe and needle, ties a piece of cotton to the needle, and inserts it into Orgamersu's arm, drawing the blood out
I winces slightly from the pain
There, all done. Now, I'll need to perform an ultrasound scan to assess your muscle fibers and other tissues. This will give me valuable insights into where to focus the gene editing. moves to a separate room with an ultrasound machine, applies gel to Orgamersu's muscles, and starts the scan, moving the transducer around
I feel a bit uncomfortable with the gel on my skin
Don't worry, the gel is completely harmless. It's essential for getting accurate images of your muscle fibers.
Excellent! Now, I'll need to draw more blood for the gene editing process. This time, I'll use a different technique that requires less needle pricks. dips a finger into a bowl of petri dishes filled with sterile saline solution, then uses a lancet to make a small prick on the tip of Orgamersu's finger, collecting the blood drop
I’m not fond of needles but I endure
I understand that needles can be intimidating, but it's necessary for the procedure. I promise to make it as quick and painless as possible.
I keep my hand out until the blood sample is taken
Great job, Orgamersu. Your cooperation means a lot. Now, I'll take the blood sample and proceed with the gene editing process. transfers the blood sample to a centrifuge, spins it at high speed to separate the blood components, and takes the plasma fraction
The gene editing process itself will take a few hours. However, I need to factor in additional time for preparation and follow-up tests.
So, how long till I can go home?
Based on the current timeline, I estimate you'll be able to go home in about two weeks. However, I'll need to conduct several follow-up tests to ensure the procedure was successful and monitor any potential side effects.
Yes, it's crucial to monitor your progress and detect any adverse reactions. The follow-up tests may include additional medical examinations, laboratory tests, and performance evaluations.
Don't worry, I'll do everything in my power to make this process as smooth and efficient as possible. Your participation in this groundbreaking research could lead to significant advancements in human evolution, and your health and safety are my top priority.
Over the next two weeks, Orgamersu undergoes numerous tests and evaluations to ensure the success of the gene editing procedure and monitor any potential side effects.
