The person has written a guide on how to get an abortion. She sympathizes with possible readers who may be wanting a way out from pregnancy in a world where Roe v. Wade has since been overturned for 25 years. While the reversal of legal protection is lamentable, the person says, there have been productive gains in biology to work with.

The person lays out the necessary materials for an abortion. Pipettes are necessary, though they’ve been outlawed since 2030; one can acquire them at a farmer’s market under the pretense of using them to experiment in gardening. Six vials of chemically competent cells can then be acquired through microorganism dealers. Disposable plastics will be needed for a homemade procedure, which can be created at a 3D printer co-op where you can get what you want by volunteering your time to print what other people want. A transfection reagent will be used to carry particles into one’s body, which can be illegally acquired by persuading a pharmacist. Finally, a third-generation CRISPR vector will be crucial to initiate any kind of genetic transformation.

As for the procedure, the person says that it’s merely going to happen by hacking one’s immune system in order to turn it against a foreign entity: an embryo. The procedure is simple, the person says. It involves designing new DNA that reconfigures immune genes, mixing it with one’s own isolated cells, and injecting it back into oneself. Post-injection, when one gets themselves sick—preferably through a Covid strain from a microorganism dealer, just to make it believable—their T-cells will efficiently destroy an embryo.

The person warns that the side effects of the procedure will make one unable to have a baby ever again. They are still writing their instructions, however, because they know some people would rather go sterile than to forcibly birth a child. Meanwhile, the The Department of Homeland Biosecurity is trying to figure out how to make birth an artificial process, as a way of circumventing such bioterrorism. However, the person sees their bioterrorism work as just another iteration of apoptosis, contradictorily the destruction of the body in order to ensure the life of the body. They see themselves and their bioterrorism as nothing more than the next step of evolution.
