Seizure (P)

In Seizure, bestselling author Robin Cook delves into the controversial world of medical technology and the moral dilemmas that come with it. When Dr. Daniel Lowell and his partner, Dr. Stephanie D'Agostino, develop a groundbreaking stem cell cloning procedure to treat degenerative diseases, they are on the verge of a medical breakthrough. However, their path to approval is blocked by Senator Ashley Butler, a politician who opposes their method, believing it goes against traditional American values.

But when Butler is diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and his condition rapidly worsens, he finds himself at a crossroads. Faced with the devastating effects of his disease, he is forced to make a deal with the very doctors whose work he had previously condemned: undergo the experimental procedure in exchange for unwavering support of their technology.

But the procedure has never been tested on humans, and as the doctors rush to keep the trial under wraps, they begin to realize they are risking everything—careers, ethics, and lives. When Butler starts suffering violent seizures and terrifying side effects, the doctors' confidence begins to crack, and they realize they may have pushed the boundaries of science too far.

A fast-paced medical thriller, Seizure raises powerful questions about the ethics of cutting-edge medicine and the dangers of scientific progress without caution.
