"I don't believe so, Senator. The boy's not ready for any travelling yet. And it would violate our policy to present him to the video audience. We try to keep the identity of our patients secret."

"To protect them. Reanimation is still in its early stages. The social implications are still unclear."
"Ah. Would you object if the members of this Committee paid the boy a visit, then, to ascertain the current state of his health?"
"That could be arranged," Raymond said.
