In between the first time I was in Thedas and the second, some others and I, we worked out a gene therapy that gives every indication of putting us in full remission. Some of my sisters did die before we got there, we didn't all make it, but I was OK."

And since the only two who could have biological kids also didn't have the disease, it won't pass on to anyone else in the future unless some other unethical scientist engineers their way to the same place."
