Mutation

Mutation delves into the ethical and scientific implications of genetic engineering as it follows Dr. Victor Frank, a brilliant but ethically questionable geneticist.

Frank secretly uses his own sperm, altered with enhanced DNA, to artificially inseminate his wife, hoping to create children with superior intelligence.

However, the experiment goes awry, resulting in offspring with monstrous physical deformities alongside their heightened intellect.

As the children grow, their abnormal development and psychological issues lead to tragic and terrifying consequences.

The novel explores themes of ambition, the dangers of unchecked scientific progress, and the moral boundaries of genetic manipulation.
