“Perfect crime,' he said softly.
'Yes?'
'Persuade an innocent, idealistic young girl that the future of the human race depends on her sacrificing her own life. She will come into hospital as trustingly as a lamb to the slaughter. She will welcome the implantation of a baby that will kill her. She'll lie there while her brain is destroyed for nine whole months, and no police will arrest you, no court will judge you, you'll get away scot free. At the end of nine months she'll be taken off life support and she'll be completely dead. And no one will be blamed.”
Jane Rogers, The Testament of Jessie Lamb

He sighed in exasperation. "You are too young to understand. People get by."

"I don't want to get by. I want to know my life's been useful.”
Jane Rogers, The Testament of Jessie Lamb
