Want to potentially live forever?
Brothers Spencer and Michael Deighton (not Kempe) are working together on a project that will create a pill that can cure any illness. Both men have different motives however. Spencer wishes to help others, and Michael is about profit, basically.
The brothers' mother had Huntington's disease. Michael claims to have been tested negative, while Spencer was never tested. This is an important fact, not just because it explains each man's motive.
One of the test monkeys successfully survives cyanide after When the results are known, Mike wants to cover it up, because it's all about making money, not actually curing people. Heaven forbid that the common people should have access to perfect physical health. They'd be losing customers. Closely mirroring a certain medical industry I could name...
He took it a step further by killing Spencer's co-worker Carl, and attacking his brother's asthmatic girlfriend. And he even uses the serum on himself, because he is a selfish, greedy you know what.
Spencer heads to the lab, where he finds out more about the true effects of his 'wonder drug'. It accelerates the regeneration process of cells, causing paralysis/sleep. Then you know who shows up and tries to get his brother to join him 'in taking over the world'. Obviously, the answer is no. Bro, you're crazy.
Decontamination begins. *Then it's revealed that Michael did inherit Huntington's and the 'cure' causes him to super age.*
Yeah, this was a lovely story. Main Take-Away: Don't be greedy, and what seems like a godsend might actually be our downfall.
