When my mother was pregnant with me, she became ill. Her doctor warned her that it would be impossible to save both her and her child. She was determined to prove him wrong.

She had no luck with hospital doctors and decided to look for less main-stream ways of helping us. One day, she found an article for an up and coming company that was willing to pay for test subjects. It was the first pharmaceutical company in our area. At that time, technology and medicine was still very new. Or at least... not many knew a lot about them.

My mother was originally turned down for testing, but when they found out she was pregnant and desperate, they told her she might qualify for a "special project."

I have no way of knowing what they told her or what they did to her. How could I when I hadn't been born yet? Whatever they did worked. I was born...

I wish I could say that my mother is doing well or that I had a great childhood with her taking care of me... but she died when I was two.
