Amnion: When Eternal Life is in Our Grasp - Paperback

by Mark Fraz (Author)

As in all things human, sometimes it takes a compelling story to change public opinion. For example, the fictional story of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin', crystallized the complex and controversial struggle for human rights by distilling the issue down to the unambiguous suffering of the affected individuals.

In this speculative fictional novel of the near future, the complex issue of fetal human rights is resolved by the arduous journey of just one nascent human life - Amnion. However, no story based on just the biologic and medical evidence, can capture the interest, much less influence opinion, without being both entertaining and humorous.

Follow the realistic development of one fetus from a lab specimen UH0744 to a fully developed baby, and those characters that cleverly rescue and save her life - Mike, Phylis, Joel, and Richard. They must come to grips with the corporate world of Max, Norm, and Dr. Strauss, who wield their unholy marriage of power, greed, and money into rejuvenation technology.
A remarkable and captivating civil court case against their evil corporation is the culmination of this poignant story Amnion vs Lifespan Corporation.

This first novel revolves around the struggle for Amnion's Human Rights. The second novel, Amnion II (The Sequel), uncovers another fiendish plan to process fetal tissue. All the while, the court case evolves through the arduous appeals process all the way to the oral arguments before the United States Supreme Court. A landmark Fetal Civil Rights decision is handed down.
