Perfect Human Being
About This Novel
All they wanted was a healthy child, but what they got in exchange was a nightmare... Death caused by genetic mutation sounds like a tragedy that can only be found in science fiction novels, but it really happened to John and Naomi's four-year-old son. Their child was born with a genetic disease and died. The couple fell into deep despair. There is a yacht on the high seas in southern Massachusetts, USA. Its owner is a maverick geneticist named Leo de Torre. This man opened a clinic on a yacht. As long as the client paid four hundred thousand dollars, Leo de Torre could select various genes needed for the unborn child. In other words, he would customize the child for the client. John and Naomi originally just wanted a healthy boy, but De Tore said that if you don't choose excellent genes and customize a perfect child, then he (or she) will already be inferior at birth, because other parents have taken precautions and selected the best genes for their children. After the surgery, John and Naomi returned to Los Angeles. However, to their surprise, Naomi was not having a boy, but a girl! This made the couple doubt Dr. De Tore's skills. John was under great psychological pressure and drunkenly revealed to a reporter from USA Today who was interviewing him that they had customized their child. After the news hit the newspapers, they were frantically hunted by a group of religious fanatics. The family later fled to England, where John found a teaching position at the University of Sussex. Soon the children were born, a boy and a girl. They gradually discovered that these two children have amazing IQs and are even smarter than their parents in some aspects... What kind of eye-popping things will these genius children do?
