The novel "The House of the Scorpion" by Nancy Farmer takes place in in Mexico . The first chapter has told of how a scientist is working in a laboratory on some cells. We soon find out that Eduardo is working on cloning cells. We find out that if cells start duplicating they are placeed inside a cow where they will grow into humans. Soon after most of the cells die of and he is left with only one. Eduardo knows if the cell fails he will lose his job and be sent away to the "Farms". So far I do not know what the "Farms" are. Lucky the one cell succeeds and after a period of time a baby is born. At birth the babies are injected with something to make them brain dead. His assistant stops him from doing that to the new born. She says it is a Matteo Alacrán and those are "left intact".
