Dear all,
I am an editor for young adult fiction books. At the moment I am
working on a science fiction series. As I am not very good at biology,
I would like to ask you, whether the following scenario is realistic
or not: A society lives in an isolated environment. The people there
are governed by an evil group of people, that blows a certain drug
into the air. By inhaling this drug the DNA of the inhabitants is
being changed and transforms them into obedient citizens. Is it
realistic that, if you withdraw this drug, the changes in the DNA
recede and the citizens become thinking individuals again? And if this
is the case, how quickly could this take place?
Thank you very much for your help and excuse my ignorance.
Best wishes
Katharina Ebinger
