G.M.O. Lecture No. 3

Dr. J.A. Karl delivered the fourth in his series of lectures on side-effects of recombinant D.N.A. as applied to gene therapy:



Ladies and Gentlemen, after each of my three earlier lectures on the unanticipated effects of animal D.N.A. on human test subjects, I was asked if we had ever intentionally changed the sex of a human subject using the D.N.A. of another species. 

Well, there was the case of a single, male, working-class subject, whom I shall refer to as “Mr. J. Zed”, who approached us for gene therapy to treat his social problems. 

Mr. Zed complained that he was largely ignored by others and suggested that we splice a gene from an alpha male wolf onto his chromosomes to solve his problems.

We took another more effective approach.

The gene-splicing we chose to administer caused Mr. Zed to shed a layer of skin as his limbs lengthened and his waist narrowed. The moult revealed softer, smoother skin than he had had before.

Mr. Zed was being feminized.

Without saying a word, she stood up tall and walked out of the lab.

As she left the building, women from all over the university campus (students, staff, and faculty) swarmed around her, grooming and tending to her with their fingers and mouths.

Once out of the Science Building, she went to a green area on campus and stopped while women led by female faculty and students from the Architecture Department built a huge home for her and all in her service.

Others of her retinue enhanced her femininity and her fertility by feeding her a jelly-like substance that they were now able to express from their breasts."

"The women in the resulting colony kept busy feeding her their jelly, tending to her and, once she was fully fertile, added ushering studs to her to their duties.

As a result, she produces many offspring which her workers help to nurse. 

The colony is a hive of constant activity.

J. Zed now goes by the name “Melissa” and, while she doesn’t need to talk to get what she wants, one doesn’t need to observe her for very long to see that she is constantly satisfied with her new social life and all the benefits it brings.

In addition to communicating through pheromones, Queen Melissa and the members of her retinue communicate through dance - waggling, jerking, vibrating.

I hear some of you murmuring that you have figured out what we did there.

Yes, we introduced to Mr. Zed’s chromosomes genes from a queen of Apis mellifera, the European honey bee.

The genes not only enabled the socially inept Mr. Zed to metamorphose into Melissa but also to produce pheromones that regulate the behaviour of others around her. Melissa has nothing like the problems of J. Zed who had nothing like the pleasures of this queen bee."
