After the WCG was established, they let labs realize plans to undo nuclear contaminations. [Mention motive here: justification, ergo demonstrating power of collected forces] Their solution was an artificial created [[wikipedia:Mycorrhiza|mycorrhiza]]. That symbiosis of plants and fungi is supposed to absorb radioactive isotopes and store them in a kind of nut. Drones were going to collect them. The hull contained bitters so that animals didn't feed on them. The plant was unable to propagate because their cells, including DNA and its mutations, dissolved after [http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/04/140404140403.htm one year]. The time control was necessary because the mycorrhiza would not only clean the soil but also devour whole forests to collect the radionuclides inside non-animal organisms. To accelerate the development, all mechanisms were tested [[wikipedia:In_silico|in silico]] against critical mutations. In the lab it seemed stable enough so the officials pushed for field tests.

In nature the mycorrhiza accumulated mutations in an unpredicted way. With the silenced fail-safe measures, the mycorrhiza was able to spread out uncontrolled. During the next years it influenced other organisms. This marked the beginning of the BioCrisis. Since then reclamation teams are fighting back the wilderness and WCG is trying to hide their fatal errors from public. Nobody wanted to take the blame.

It can be argued that these prototypes were meant for [[wikipedia:In_vitro|in vitro experiments]], not in vivo.

:If I remember correctly the following bit has already been presented somewhere on the forums or Oni Galore. Namely that an ''in vitro Daodan'' could be carried inside a box for medical usage. Futher it could be like this: You could expose it to doses of negative stimli such as toxins and grow adapted tissue or organes. Once implanted, these would not take over the rest of the body. It's like bioprinting (a.k.a. [[wikipedia:Tissue_engineering|tissue engineering]]) with Daodan cells.

:* During life, mutations accumulate inside the genetic and epigenetic code. The codes of children is less mutated, hence need less repair, also the telomeres are longer.
:* There's no need to draw attention to an illegal project by asking other parents for tissue samples from their children.

:* When Hasegawa and Kerr need new samples they would have Muro and Mai as ''source'' without asking anyone else from the outside.

:* If the final in vitro Daodan don't need microbes it wouldn't cause risky horizontal gene transfer.
 
:Still, this all sounds not 100% persuasive. And the WCG could easily spread doubts about the ''in vitro Daodan'' to an audiance which lacks the technical background which would be pretty much everyone.
 
 
'''Arguments of an ''in vivo Daodan'''
 
:13_65_35 Kerr: "[...] The effect of the mutation is influenced by the subject's nature."
 
A "Box-Daodan" could never get influenced by someone's personality.
 
If a hand or foot gets heavily wounded, the flesh and bones might regenerate but the extremity loses it functionality, it cripples.
 
For an accurate regeneration the Daodan needs an own ''self-awareness'', mainly a genetic and anatomic model of itself, as already written in the [[#Explanation attempt of the biological dimension|explanation attempt]] section. The processing cell organelles in neurons open a little door so that the Doadan can get influenced. This might be the reason for Kerr's "wishful thinking".
 
The only way Hasegawa and Kerr cound have discovered this possible side effect, is an entire brain simulation with Daodan cells.
 
A complete brain simulation seems less necessary if they were just aming for an ''in vitro Daodan''.
 
After all, Kerr's saying "We had never intended to implant those Chrysalises" sounds somewhat fishy.
 


:Still, this all sounds not conviencing enough to allay all suspicions.
'''ACCs'''


The government desperately tried to kill the mutated mycorrhiza by applying aggressive herbicides and fungicides. The chemical remnants were steadily accumulating in air, water and soil. The air was becoming toxic even to humans in a foreseeable time. This again forced the WCG to build the so-called Atmospheric Conversion Centers. They were trading a big evil against a marginal smaller one.

hour and wailful waiting the whole leg tissue was wracked wildly by deep chaps. By now it was clear that the virus would cause a total breakdown of the nervous system because of its all-devouring raging. The internal tissue was going to liquefy and bleed out. Mr. Hasegawa stated that it was an unbearable scene.

'''ethic vs. death'''
'''Hasegawa's philosophie: death is worse than questionable ethics'''


: Hasegawa: "In a democracy you need the majority to change a situation. But in the WCG there's no such thing like a majority nor a democracy. We missed to accomplish our chances with normal means.  Now, only a revolution can bring change. If you don't have the guts to pull it off then I will do it. Or rather... If the entire society's intelligence wasn't enough to ensure our survival then I will empower the human body to protect ourselves."
