"I am the way I am. If you were to succeed in finding a means to take my
magic genes out of my body, I’d really be dead. You’d be killing the way the
universe built my body. Countless generations of humanity carried these genes 
safely through the centuries and deposited them in me upon my conception. That’s
a hell of a responsibility to take upon yourself, Peter. To give people the decision to alter all that history, to erase it, with a
decision made within a single lifetime."
