Wow. It's scary how much this story makes me think of my son Alex. I don't think he would go this far. It would be really interesting to have him read this book and give me his perspective. David Hahn was fascinated by chemistry, atomic energy, experimenting, and science in general. The fact that he got so far on his own is stunning. With some guidance and direction, he probably could have been a successful scientist. I wish he hadn't backed out of the full-body scan. I'm curious about how much radiation is in his body. What a scary, fascinating story.
