[b]That conversation's come up before with okay, if lycanthropy is so awesome, why aren't people with terminal diseases lining up to get infected in order to be cured? Morally, there's nothing to really stop a doctor from injecting patients with concentrated lycanthropy serum.[/b]
Not to go too far back, but read this and had to respond. I have in my "future writings" notebook a plot like that. Except it was vampires. In the future, vampires are known to exist and have made a name for themselves as a medical miracle. They claim that they are free from human sufferings like cancer and aids. To prove it, they infected a few patients and - wham! - said patients appeared cured. Slowly, they start changing people and keeping others as slaves and food supply (they need to breed humans to continue having food). The hero or heroine of the book used to have cancer and became a vampire under the program. S/he finds out that it was all a lie and the infection is still there, it's just growing at a much slower rate and surgery is out of the question because it could kill him/her now. Also, all the infected were slated for death so the secret can't be made known.
I think it's between the pages of the ghost psychic plots and the vampire lawyer story.
