| Plot Summary of Mutation |
|---|
"A scientist believes he is doing the best thing he can in the name of science and ends up creating a monster. Now he must admit to his wife what he has done and how he plans to undo the entire mess. That would be fairly easy if he knew what he were going to do about it. The "good" Doctor is torn between facing the reality of what he created or hiding behind the idea that he has made one of the most scientific discoveries of all time."
