"He'd been special long than she had. The cutters were a brand-new part of Special Circumstances, but Tally's operation had taken the longest. She'd done a lot of very average things in her past, and it had taken a while for the doctors to strip away all the built-up guilt and shame. Random leftover emotions could leave your brain muddles, which wasn't very special. power came from icy clarity, from knowing exactly what you were, from cutting.(Westfeld 10)
So now she is a special? Wow that is intense, they are really technologicaly advanced in the biology field. But this just causes so many biotechnology issues in this version of the future. The government uses so much biotechnology to control its citizens. Why do they scientest think this is okay? I beleive they think its okay because they just see the pretties being happy. Though event his surgery sounds way to intense. Stripping someone of thier past emotions? I guess I understand because it helps them make descions off of logic rather than impulsions or emotions. "Icy clarity" That sounds so hard and cold hearted. Though I wonder if she will forget what happened to Zane or will she just feel no emotion to it... I would never want to be strip all my emotions away, sometimes I say I would but in reality that is no way to live. Though its better than being a pretty and being tricked into thinking they are happy, I would rather know the truth then living a lie. Why are the speicals not working against the people who are making the uglies into pretties? Are they apart of it? It does not sound like it maybe its because they know it will almost be impossible to, they just do not want to live as a pretty. Though this is not helping the overall problem, or I guess just a small step to overcoming it. Though this dystopian society wants to play the role of God, the government has to much biotechnology and uses it to produce the image of a perfect society when in reality it is not.
