In the Name of Science

Eternal Sabbath is the story of a genetically engineered man - a man who just so happens to have the ability to feel and manipulate minds. He was created by accident by scientists trying to unravel the mysteries of old age and death - he has a lifespan of 200 years. He was patient ES00. The laboratory wanted to conduct experiments, but they were unwilling to dissect their only sample, and so, ten years later, they managed to create another. Born as a clone to the first, he possessed the same supernatural abilities, but was kept in incubation until mature enough. He was called Isaac, and he was created to be sacrificed in the name of science. His powers allowed both to escape. Isaac, having never been raised, but taught through his mind-reading that life, or at least his own, is expendable, develops a nasty but realistic personality. In fact, the whole story dips heavily into medical science.

One of the key issues that Isaac, the sociopath, brings up, is this:

Excluding the obvious "cruel" side to Isaac, he makes a good villain. He is manipulative, cares little for the lives of others, and he has some humanity in him; he is also a pitiable figure.

This manga questions the presumptuous nature of scientists - indeed, to them, life born in a lab has little value, although as Koujou, the female protagonist demonstrates, she does not feel the same way about her friend, whom Isaac persuaded to commit suicide over her guilt and unhappiness. Scientists are hypocrites, portrayed through her as being totally obsessed by their work and unable to carry their personal values with them in their laboratories.

This paints a pretty negative image of humans, no? Somewhere, out there, there is perhaps an incredible human, born in a perti glass, just to be killed and analyzed by those who brought him into the world. Perhaps it is rather an incredible animal? We do that already. It seems that humans, in playing god, forget all about the miracle of life. What purpose does a mystery have once it is broken? Perhaps life loses it's meaning once it is created at whim. Perhaps that will be our undoing. Creating something as its master, blind to the viewpoint of others... Is this the world as seen by our so flaunted god?

[Edit]: Hmmm... It seems as though I spoke too soon; this sentence summarizes this post.

This is a good idea. A world where humans  have been bio-engineered to become workers, or soilders, inferior beings, born into a world of slavery, unable to become acknowledged by those who created them... the original species. Clashes in a time where the main character remembers the times before the artificial race... Or a time long after when the paradise of true men has been created... and a harbinger of destruction appears to free the slaves, and rebel against their masters...

The Second Renaissance... eh?
