Cloning Feather-Bellied Questing Beasts for Cancer Research
Scientists Convinced Formerly-Extinct Species Holds Cure for Humans
CASTLE CARBONEK, LISTENEISSE -- Dr. Thomas Wu firmly believes that the once-extinct Feather-Bellied Questing Beast may hold vital clues to cure cancer in humans. The species once freely roamed throughout the region up until the 6th century AD, when the Dolorous Blow was struck and the ecological disaster referred to historically as the Wasteland spread across Listeneisse and into neighboring nations.
Paleontologists and biologists were amazed two years ago when a specimen was found exposed on a mountain glacier rapidly melting due to global warming. They quickly moved to secure the creature, and have been considering what to do with it since. Originally the creatures died due to a form of cancer of the feathers. To date, no one knew how to cure feather cancer, since it is a disease that does not appear in any other species.
This was where Dr. Wu beame involved. As Chief Oncologist at the Listeneisse Cancer Research Center, and an avid proponent of human cloning, the doctor considered the plight of the once-extinct creature. While cancer was an unstoppable killer in the 6th century, today it can be cured by barrages of treatments, both chemical and radiological.
Research funded by the hospital was able to contain the pathogens that caused feather cancer. Copies of the creature could then be safely cloned from the preserved tissue and raised. This produced a commercial spin-off, QBTesting, which now commercially reproduced the creature as the Feather-Bellied Questing Beast Oncological Test Module™.
The doctor referred to various charts with lines pointing up and down, "Imagine what this can mean to the human race?"
"Probably nothing," countered, Jennifer Wu, Director of the East Listeneisse Questing Beast Sanctuary, the doctor's sister, and a well-known critic of the plan. "When was the last time a human ever suffered from feather cancer?"
