Transition Parlors Must Be Shut Down Today!

There is no disagreeing that AKD Pharma's Personality Transition (PT)
technology has changed humankind for the better. Since its introduction to
the population at large, a vast number of the aged and infirm have taken
advantage of it to live past their time, and it is something with which
even members of this editorial board have personal experience.

The Transition Parlors that have opened in the Greenwich Village and in
the NoHo neighborhoods should be shut down by the city as soon as
possible.

Here at the Herald-Star we feel the medicinal use of PT technology is the
only legitimate application of the technology. The Transition Parlors
represent, to this paper, the worst kind of abuse of technology. Indulging
in vice until death is nothing new, but we believe that the removal of
consequence that the Transition Parlors offer is not something that we, as
a society, should tolerate.
