Zoe’s best friend is her grandfather, who is in the twilight of his life.īut now Zoe has the opportunity to discover why she’s different from everyone else, and just maybe, something within her can help keep her grandfather from dying of old age. She just doesn’t seem to have much in common with other twenty-year-olds. Her physician wants to know why, as does Zoe, who is odd-man out in her college class. Mentally she’s remained the same child/woman she was then.
It isn’t only that Zoe Kincaid stopped physical growth at age fourteen. Up until now, that’s the reality and the unanswered question, until a genetic mutation in one small girl changes everything we know. People need to live the life span allotted to them. They say nature needs to take its course. That we-meaning humanity-can neither afford nor provide for so many people. What about cancer research? Look how many resources are dedicated to that.īut there is also a faction that says the planet is already overpopulated. If possible, don’t we have a responsibility to find a way to prevent old age just as we found a way to prevent polio? And smallpox.
Why don’t people live forever? That’s a question people have been seeking an answer to since time began.
