I have been loathe to explore
the potential powers of dictatorships
as they explore dystopian science,
and medical ethics. But my mind
was alerted to the potential for both,
in combination, when I heard reports
from the renewed cold war/axis of evil,
Xi, Putin, and Kim Jong-un. Casually,
where they talked among themselves
about how animal to human organ transplants
were the way to extend human life to 150 years length.
When they talked about how the patients
on which transplants had been tested so far
had to be brain dead, for the safety of the process,
they were no longer talking about medical science
but their long term replacement theory for democracy,
as they each thought how to extend their rule to infinity.
