Seizure

Senator Ashley Butler is a typical Southern demagogue whose support of traditional American values includes a knee-jerk reaction against virtually all biotechnologies. When he's called to chair a subcommittee introducing legislation to ban new cloning technology, the Senator sees his political future in bold relief. Dr Daniel Lowell, the inventor of the technique that will take stem cell research to the next level, views Senator Butler's appointment as a roadblock positioned on his route to fame, fortune and scientific glory. A clash between the two men is inevitable but fate and nature add an ironic twist in the tale.

  • "Senator Ashley Butler opposes any legislation supporting biotechnology and strives to outlaw cloning. His adversary, Dr. Daniel Lowell, has almost perfected an innovative stem cell procedure that reverses the effects of several critical diseases. When Senator Butler learns that he has Parkinson's Disease, he puts his political beliefs aside and makes Lowell a surprising offer: he will become Lowell's guinea pig. But when the powerful new technology is unleashed in Butler's brain, the results are devastating."

  • "Senator Ashley Butler is a quintessential southern demagogue, whose support of traditional American values includes a knee-jerk reaction against virtually all biotechnologies remotely associated with human reproduction. As the chairman of a subcommittee on health policy, he introduces legislation to ban a new cloning procedure that would take stem cell research to the next level. Dr. Daniel Lowell, the inventor of the technique, sees the proposed ban as a blow to his biotech startup, and to people poised to benefit from its promised therapies. These two formidable egos clash during the Senate hearing, but fate and nature add an ironic twist."@en
