A CRIME OF PASSION SYNTHETIC MURDER IN OUR MIDST In a Future Dominated by Gene Therapy, How Might Criminal DNA Mend Britain’s Breaking Hearts? In 2030, the detritus of crime scenes has become a romantic commodity. A health-obsessed public are turning to genetic miracles to cure their many ills. To maintain their medical regimes, each patient requires the regular donation of hundreds of genes from a singular donor, but as our genetic blueprint has become increasingly vital to our lives, so has our aversion to donation. Criminal DNA is used to meet public demand for genes. As treatments progress, donor and patient become increasingly homozygous, and peculiar romances begin to form. In an attempt to revive readership, News International founds Gunpowder Park, a love resort providing a medical honeymoon of genetic perfection. Here, patients can receive gene therapies whilst enjoying romantic rendezvous with their criminal donors. This glorious union of violence and romance creates a sensational community filling red-tops with exclusive juicy crimes and intriguing love affairs to grip the British public.
