  • No periods
  • No balding
  • No nausea
  • No body odor
  • Resistance to obesity and muscle wasting

          This is so fucked up but yeah I can see them settling for research on a drug or treatment that just keeps you from reaching Stage 4 to where you become a lifelong consumer of said medical company.
