Description
Genie: A Scientific Tragedy is a deeply unsettling and thought-provoking book that tells the shocking true story of a young woman's extraordinary life.
Born and raised in isolation, this remarkable individual spent the first 13 years of her life strapped to a chair, with no human interaction. Her emergence into the world is a testament to the power of human resilience, and her subsequent exploitation by scientists is a disturbing exploration of the ethics of scientific research.
This book is a harrowing and unflinching account of a life marked by trauma and experimentation, raising important questions about the boundaries of scientific inquiry and the value of human life.
