[[Grant]] [[Deny]] <audio src="https://dorothysantos.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/01_begin_final.wav" autoplay> //This call will be recorded for verification purposes. My name is Cole and I will be assisting you today. You've completed a clinical trial assessment. I have been informed by your clinician that you read the informed consent form for DNA Sub-study Protocol ICENE-1947. Your biosamples and data will not be sold or shared to any third party without your consent. You can either grant or deny permission. Make your selection now.

[[Proceed]] [[Withdraw]] <audio src="https://dorothysantos.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/02_grant_final.wav" autoplay> //On some occasions, people do not want their samples used for research into areas they might not agree with (e.g., research into birth control or reproductive technology). If genetic research is a possibility with your sample, it may be turned into data for algorithms used in additional studies and market research. You have the ability to withdraw at any time. Confirm your participation now.

[[Reconsider->Proceed]] [[Storage Options]] <audio src="https://dorothysantos.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/03_deny_final.wav" autoplay> //Are you sure? The potential benefits of participating in a clinical trial and sub-study include: 1. Access to new treatment 2. Monitoring, guidance, and support Most important, you will help society by contributing to medical research even if you don't directly benefit from the results of the clinical trial for which you agreed to participate in. Make your selection now.

[[Remain anonymous]] [[Disclose identity]] <audio src="https://dorothysantos.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/04_proceed_final.wav" autoplay> //Please be aware, your biosample can be traced back to you. You have the option of remaining anonymous or disclosing your identity. If you choose anonymity, a special code is attached to each sample that must be unlocked by an authorized clinician. This de-identification process enables the insitution to destory your sample should you choose to withdraw from the study. Please make your selection now.

[[Confirm Withdraw]] <audio src="https://dorothysantos.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/05_withdraw_final.wav" autoplay> //You will be re-directed in just a moment. Please select consult when you are ready to be transfered.

[[Magnetic Tape]] [[Silicon Chip]] [[Psychoactive Plant]] <audio src="https://dorothysantos.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/06_storageoptions_final.wav" autoplay> These are your three storage options. The final option is in beta testing, but the results have been overwhelming positive. Lastly, your final selection is irreversible. We ask that you share this information with your preferred next of kin or chosen family. Please make your selection now.

[[Storage Options]] <audio src="https://dorothysantos.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/07_remainanonymous_final.wav" autoplay> //Your sample will not be sold for profit and any research which uses your sample will have not been approved for distribution if consent is withdrawn. Please proceed to storage options now.

[[Storage Options]] <audio src="https://dorothysantos.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/08_discloseidentity_final.wav" autoplay> //Researcher obligations in cases where the sample remains linked must be communicated to the subject. These obligations include: 1. Informing the participant of results which have immediate clinical relevance. 2. Disclosing the risk that subject data may be shared with a third party. 3. Without withdrawal of consent, your genetic material will belong to the organization and used at-will.

[[Imprint]] <audio src="https://dorothysantos.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/10_magnetictape_final.wav" autoplay> Magnetic tape is a cheaper alternative to silicon chip DNA storage, but it degrades over time and your DNA may not be preserved for future generations. Please be aware: the potential loss of data and genetic material may occur. By imprinting, you give your permission for your GENETIC MATERIAL to be stored and used in future research of any type which has been properly approved. Please select imprint now.

[[Imprint]] <audio src="https://dorothysantos.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/11_siliconchip_final.wav" autoplay> The silicon chip is the most advanced technology. It is not covered by health insurance. As a matter of fact, it has been calculated that one minute of high resolution and quality media of your DNA stored to a silicon chip will cost approximately close to $100,000 US dollars. If you have access to this type of funding, please feel free to proceed. This storage selection confirms your permission for your GENETIC MATERIAL to be stored and used in future research but only on the same subject as the current research project for the Institute of Speculative Genomic Futures. Confirm imprint now.

[[Transcription]] <audio src="https://dorothysantos.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/12_psychoactiveplant_final.wav" autoplay> Plant-based digital DNA storage is still in its nascent stages and the most organic option of the three. This method of storage has been developed and researched by Heather Dewey-Hagborg and Philip Andrew Lewis. Choose wisely as this option does not factor a relative or chosen benefactor's inability to care for your transition into the botanical life, which would be an unfortunate death of your genetic material. You select this version of sustaining yourself into the future in the most unstable and most dependent way possible. Please be aware that your family may be asked to provide clippings for future study and DNA sequencing. By choosing this option, you give permission for your GENETIC MATERIAL to be implanted, stored and used for future research at the Institute. Proceed by selecting transcription now.

[[Complete Process]] <audio src="https://dorothysantos.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/13_imprint_final.wav" autoplay> Congratulations, you have completed the first step necessary towards helping future generations. The Institute for Speculative Genomic Futures would like to express our deepest gratitude. In the event that our scientists have found your DNA to contain a rare sequence with the ability to help humankind along with other organisms, you will be notified immediately. Please place your fingerprint to transmit your biodata to complete the process. Thank you. Goodbye.

I was able to hack into the system to reach you. I think I know how to help, but you need to trust me. You might think this is a crazy idea, but I found a special relationship between memory of a single event. There is a way to shatter parts of your genome, and fix the mutation.
