The House of the Scorpion Ch. 1

Why was Eduardo afraid of failing to grow the cells?

• If he failed, he would be sent to the Farms.

• If he failed, his wife, Anna, would leave him.

• He would lose the funding (money) for his cloning research if he failed.

• He was afraid he would get fired.

How many embryos survived in the cows?

• 1

• none

• 36

Why didn't Eduardo "blunt the intelligence" of the one surviving clone?

• The clone was a Matteo Alacrán. They are always left intact.

• He didn't know how.

• The clone rejected the implant.

• He knew the clone wouldn't survive if he did.
