Mother Courage. She鈥檚 not the end of the experiment. Just the start of a new one. While you were gone, I鈥檝e been watching her. When she goes to feed her babies, there鈥檚 a moment鈥ou can see it on the video. A hesitation. The control group, they don鈥檛 have it. She鈥檚 getting the message loud and clear, the message we gave her, that she shouldn鈥檛鈥o she stops. But then, there鈥檚 another moment, and you can see it. Intention. In a brain that small. In an animal we were all sure was controlled only by instinct.

So tomorrow, when we dissect her, we鈥檙e going to see what she鈥檚 been doing to her own brain chemistry. Doing by sheer force of will. She鈥檚 changing her brain. The way we change ours. We change ours all the time. You know that.

We can make our brains do almost anything. We can make love to one woman, and in our minds, it鈥檚 someone else entirely. We can make families anyway we can. With whatever material we鈥檝e got.
