It was thought that ADAM could have been a genetic improvement, ever since the smuggler who found the ADAM Sea Slug had his crippled hands miraculously healed from it's bite. Scientists thought with that possibility, it might be safe to exploit the essence of ADAM as a genetic vitamin supplement to improve everyone's genetic makeup, via tonics. Plasmids would have been originally intended for making job professions and other routines simple and less mundane. But like lead and X-ray radiation, they never thought that prolong exposure from a "safe" product can deteriorate a host, both physically and mentally.
