PrologueA Chapter by StevePeckRecording # 117 Date. February 22, 1986. Time. About 2:30 in the morning. I have decided to stop walking this path I have so blindly followed. They said it was all in the name of science, that the end justified the means. After so many years convincing myself of these excuses, I find myself questioning the truth behind these claims. I always believed that my work would benefit mankind, but in retrospect, this could not be further from the truth. I never felt truly at peace with my actions, and I fear this revelation may be too late. Many of them died from diseases that we are entirely capable of curing, but if we cured even a single person, the entire experiment would have been for naught, a century's work wasted. To know of a cure and not administer that cure is one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. There is nothing worse than being able to say you watched a man die while knowing how to keep him alive. It is truly difficult to determine the point in which a human life takes precedence over experimentation. You, whomever you may be, may find this to be disconcerting, telling yourself that a life always takes precedence, no matter what. You have no idea. I pass my duties and responsibilities over to my son. Hopefully I prepared him to make the decisions that I never could.
I'm so sorry. © 2013 StevePeckFeatured Review
