4th Test // Voice // After the blackout

Have been thinking about the implications of our being here. Imports, that is. Incident with Vulcanus sparked contemplation. Superpowers, supernatural, super tech, all introduced into world previously unfamiliar with such things. Power implies responsibility for how it’s used. Need to consider larger effects our activities could have on this world ( Read more... )

The possibilities of doing something like that are... there. But they are just that, possibilities. Certainly, you'd have some idiots hear that there is a miracle salve that'll heal anything and go out and throw caution into the wind and end up killing themselves ( ... )

True. However, hypothetical other person is also just that- a possibility. Also, their worse intentions not my responsibility, as opposed to consequences of my own actions. Not obligated to potentially harm society to prevent someone else harming it first.

You're a doctor as well? Fascinating. Always good to meet another healer. Professor Mordin Solus, currently practicing at Import Clinic.

I suppose in the end it is all just hypothetical.

I'd say just use the tools you have for yourself. You have no duties to influence an entire society, but that doesn't mean the existence has to be a secret anyway. Which, it obviously isn't... but anyway. Heal what you can on your own. You know how things will react in your own hands, and the best idea is probably just to keep it there where no one else can butcher the idea.

I'm generally a transplant surgeon at home, though of course the rest of the healing often comes with the territory. Dr. Kazutaka Muraki, currently not practicing on account of being in a new City. Though I am seeking employment.

Hm. Yes. Most practical choice. Have already used medi-gel on critical patients without dire consequences. Can continue to do so and simply not pursue mass distribution. Ethically questionable to award myself a monopoly perhaps, but justified by unique situations in City. Extraordinary injuries more likely to require extraordinary treatment.

Transplant surgeon? Very useful kind of territory. If interested, would be happy to arrange a Clinic position for you. More likely to do general healing than transplants, though.

I suppose if ethics are the concern, then as long as you aren't vastly overcharging for the services then it alright to have a monopoly.

I would be interested in such a position. It might even provide me chances to continue my research, should anyone ever be in need of transplants. I'd much rather put my training to use than live on this meager salary and do nothing.

Never overcharge for saving lives. Tends to strain patient-doctor relationship.

Will do what I can to expedite new position. Not in charge of Clinic directly, but still should be able to set things in motion. Excited to work with more Imports. Current colleagues already very stimulating.
