Ummmm....

So, I've been doing a lot of reading these days, considering I have so much time on my hands! In the past few days I've read quite a few books of Robin Cook! He freaks me out a little! There's this one book where these two girls donate their eggs so that they can spend a semester of college abroad. One of them, Deborah, is studying microbiology, or something like that (I read it a long time ago, so forgive me if my memory is a little blurry!), so, anyway, she asks for local anaesthesia not general because she wants to know what's happening. Meanwhile, her friend, Jennifer is frightened of hospitals, so she agrees to general anaesthesia. And the doctors take out one of her ovaries! How scary is that! And then, in another book, Coma, some of the doctors, purposely kill off their patients and sell their organs in the black market! The most recent one I read was 'Mutation', where a couple, Victor and Marsha, desperately want a second child, so they try in-vitrio fertilisation and Victor, who is a scientist, fertilises the egg himself. He inserts a special gene into the zygote, so that the child turns out brilliant. He gets what he wants but Victor Junior also turns out to be a killing machine! I wonder if these things can actually happen! Imagine if they did! The world is already scary enough, if this happened, it would be like landing in a horror movie! I mean, we put our lives in their hands! There's this other book, where they purposefully give patients brain tumour! I didn't really understand that one because it had terms that I didn't understand and also that I wasn't really interested! Anyway, as long as this stuff happens in books, I'm fine. So, see you around!
