In this chapter, Cam returns home to find his mother and father arguing about the possibility of a cure for him - a high risk procedure that is both experimental and controversial involving transgenics and the use of a genetically enhanced pig heart. Mum doesn't think the procedure is a good idea, but Dad does. What are the arguments that they use to say that they are right? Who do you agree with? What is the main reason, in your opinion, that each of them are hanging onto their point of view? Who is the one person who is forgotten in the overheard discussion, and why is that a problem?
Please add some of your ideas and thoughts about the book, and perhaps what you think will happen next - do you think that Cameron will opt for the transplant, and what was the unsaid message that Dr Bryce was trying to get across to Cam during the discussion?
