re: article i’m writing—thoughts on it please?
Title – On the creation of a Cardassian-Human hybrid
(half the recipients cocked an interested eyebrow,
the others went
damnit Julian I’m a botanist/an engineer/a counselor-diplomat/etc not a medical doctor)
Introduction – pretty self-explanatory, one ambitious inter-species couple has raised several adopted children and wanted to try their hand at a genetic offspring
(wait seriously
oh)
Methods –
denucleated ovocyte from an anonymous Terran donor
spermatozoa from Bashir, Julian (Human) and Garak, Elim (Cardassian)
intracytoplasmic sperm injection
[more details about mitochondria selection, genetic compatibility and tweaking to follow up]
embryo transfer
[stars but the gestation period for a Cardassian-Human hybrid is so much longer than for either of its parent species urgh]
Results – [insert here several baby pictures
cute little thing with a round face
and spoon-shaped scales on its forehead
a warm brown complexion
and littles ridges around its strikingly light eyes
alone in a bassinet or craddled in its doting parents’ arms
holding a teddy bear almost as big as it is]
Discussion – pending
another message

re: new asset on the diplomatic Cardassian team
