Project Cane

Overview
Project Cane was a secret project set up by the government in the 1950's to eradicate Polio. There were 500 test subjects, and only three died. The project was invented by Dr. Peters' cousin, Dr. Sabine Peters. The project was successful, but they tried many solutions on people. Three people died, whereas in Project Zoea, over 1,000 people died, proving Dr. Sabine Peters highly educated, and reliable. She gave the most potent injection to George and three other people, who had Polio. It was cured, but built up iron in his eyes, and added to his brain cells. Sabine decided that it was dangerous to administer it to 500 people, so she changed the injection, and apologized to George. The recent Polio vaccine was made by her. The three people who died were already unhealthy, and died. The other subjects were cured. George was the 4th subject.

Dr. Sabine Peters
Dr. Sabine Peters was born in Florence, Italy in 1915. She was in her 30's when Dr. Peters was born, and was about 40 when she was in Project Cane. She has a younger sister named Lilian White, who died of Polio, explaining her drive for Project Cane, which Sabine and Andrew (Dr. Peters; Project Zoea) had in common: they had a drive. She loved her cousin dearly, but he did not return her affection, and dismissed her project as "silly, useless, and stupid," and they didn't have any contact ever since then. When Andrew Peters made Project Zoea, she showed up at the meeting to start Project Zoea, and the meeting for when it ended. George was 5-6 when he took part in Project Cane, and his friend who died was the same age.

"Some things can't be fixed completely. Like a broken heart or a death, but it can get a bit better."

(Sabine to George when his friend died from the vaccine)

"You called my project stupid, and now there's millions of grateful, cured, people out there. I'm not gonna call yours stupid. I'm not like you."

(Sabine to Andrew at the start of Project Zoea)

"You should've thought about using uranium in these projects. Now there's 1,000's of people dead. Maybe I should've called it stupid: For luck."

(Sabine to Andrew at the end of Project Zoea)

Trivia

 * Project Cane was shut down after the government had a meeting with Sabine Peters about population control, since some of her vaccines made people immortal.
 * Sabine Peters had a child at some point, but she died of unknown causes as an infant, which caused her to treat her patients like her own children.
 * She held funerals for the patients who lost their lives.
 * No lawsuits were filed in Project Cane, yet 893 lawsuits were filed in Project Zoea.
