Science pushes people to leave their comfort zone and challenge themselves. It makes them do things they would never imagine themselves doing. People risk so much when it comes to technology. Never knowing the outcome until after it’s already happening. In Control the main character, Zelia, is constantly pushing the boundaries of what she is willing to so when it comes to getting her sister back. She risks her own life. She deprives herself from sleep when working in her lab to complete the genetically modified DNA. “Each chromosome is one long string of DNA, right? To make DNA like Zelia’s, we have to connect the ends, like fixing a broken necklace” (Kang 280). This process was very tedious and took many weeks. Zelia new that in order to get it done she would have to not sleep. She did this by taking an elixir that allowed half of her brain to be asleep while the other was awake. Which isn't very safe.
“He lifts up all four arms in what can only be described as a pose fit for a Hindu god” (Kang 60). Hex has four arms. Vera has green skin. Cy’s skin heals itself. Wilber has two heads. They all try to pinpoint the different DNA sequence that makes them different. Zelia takes the vials of completed traits to use when trying to get her sister back. “Science is easy. It. Follows rules. This --she taps her chest-- has no map” (Kang 316). She took the elixirs and hid them in her shirt. She doesn't know what they will do when she uses them, but she takes that
