Olivas. Its main character is a man who suffered fatal injuries and had to have body parts replaced and these people are called "stitchers". Secondary character is his girlfriend who is somewhat normal but a successful woman lawyer and he is a paralegal whom she met at a conference. The reanimated have been told they must take a pill everyday to continue in good health. In the meantime President(a woman) Cadwaller is trying to outlaw the reanimation procedures and succeeds. When people are reanimated their personal memories are deleted and they are left with language and skills. At the end much is revealed by one of the doctors who took part in the reanimation of this individual. Hey happier ending than any of the Shelly-inspired variants. bliss -- b l i s s dash s f 4 e v e r at d s l e x t r e m e dot c o m
