She is currently experiencing eternal torment for her actions, and such is God's judgment.

I am also a scientist, and I have to acknowledge that human beings are biochemical machines.

And like any machine, they are subject to malfunction for reasons ranging from genetic to environmental.

Have the wrong combination of polymorphisms in your genome, and you die before you can be born.

Or you live long enough to get cancer.

Or you acquire a rare personality disorder.

The potential things that can go wrong with humans are vast and terrifying.

All of them.

Before you can even consider what can happen outside the body.

And then you have poisons and pathogens, agents that wear you down quickly or slowly.

Mutations that are forced upon you to who knows what end.

Any damned thing can happen.

I don't waste my time pitying the evil for their misfortune to be the way they are, whatever the reason.

Instead, I plot the variables against my own life and wonder.

I live a good life and one of faith and service, and I believe myself square in the eyes of God.

But what floats within my bloodstream, waiting to activate some hideous aberration in my nature?

What genetic mutation do I carry?

that might transform me into an evildoer.

These are the things that occupy a prime position in the back of my mind as I pursue my investigations.

How confident am I in myself?
