"Hex: Shadows" By Rhiannon Lassiter #4

"Wraith and Raven's sister had never recovered from her stint in the CPS laboratories. As far as Ali could understand it the eleven-year-old's brain had been directly linked up to a computer database with no experience in handling the data flow. Most of the other children who had been experimented on... [became] mindless wrecks." (page 8)

This is yet another great passage in which biotechnology is revealed throughout the "Hex" series. It is crazy to think that humans actually put other humans through these types of tests even though they know they are so harmful to them. I think this says a lot about the society portrayed in "Hex: Shadows;" it is evident that when needed, the Hexes can become useful for experimentation purposes, but when not needed, they are shunned or exterminated from society. This shows what a messed up world the Hexes live in; they seem to have no moral standards because they are willing to harm someone for their own experimental gain.
