Chimera
There are horrors in taking medical science to it's limit. In this near-future short story, the fear of death has been almost eliminated by extending life beyond it's capabilities. When the body is meant to die the chimera takes control. It's only a matter of time before the world succumbs to violence. At what point will people see the truth? One flawed woman found answers but at what price?
"The answer is Xenotransplantation. They fuse the genes of a nearly dead human with the live cells of Rhesus monkeys to create a Total Human-Hybrid Chimera, or simply Chimera. Death became avoidable for families willing to pay.
More insurance companies picked up the procedure. Now, everyone had access to Xenotransplants. If I told someone there comes a point where life isn’t worth living, they’d look at me like I’m suicidal."
