The Host Chunk Two
Now that Melanie and Wanderer have been caught, Wanderer is in a state of fear and panic. As she listens to the ddisputes and conversaations, she sees that she has been saved, not because the humans care about her, but because she is suppose to be apart of some experiment that the humans have ran on other souls and failed. These observations she makes confirm the thoughts that she and her people had about humans being violent beings. Meyers introduces something that has always been. That is research. Research is used to learn more about something and unfortunately its not always done in the most humane way. ot only that but it results in failure at times as well. The worse type of research known to man is that done another living creature. It's known to many as playing God if you don't let things happen naturally. It's also seen as a barbarian like occupation to run experiments on people. This portion of the book is a small evaluation of what humans would do to get the knowledge that they want. Whats crazy is their knowledge is in the form of a diamond. Its like a conflict/blood diamond.

i didnt think that the research the humans did was inhumane. well it was, but that was the last thing on their minds at the so called end of the world. if i was in that situation the idea of being able to remove souls from human bodies and freeing millions of minds would be the only thing that would keep me sane and holding on to hope. not all research is bad and inhumane. you learn things from it. you get things from it. without research we wouldnt be blogging or listening to our ipods and anything that brings me an ipod is fine in my book.
