Description

Professor Katsumi who has a computer capable of making predictions of man's fate, has no idea of the work undertaken in a still more dehumanized laboratory. But a double murder, an analysis of one of the bodies, and some anonymous phone calls alert him to a traffic in human fetuses corroborated by his wife's enforced curettage. Witnessing the works in progress—growing rooms for human submarine colonies which will make man's survival possible—he is also threatened with his own extinction betrayed by his own machine and he is made to consider various ethical conjectures and priorities: should one deny one's self—should the present be expendable in the interest of the future?
