Perhaps your title is a bit ironic? Does Edna Grossbart live, or is the composite Edna Grossbart someone else completely? You try your hand at science fiction,and you do so deftly. This is not merely an excursion into what might be at a future time, with advanced technology. This is an inquiry into the essence of an individual.
It's great that you begin your inquiry with hair dye. So deceptively superficial. But even something as trivial as hair color has not escaped the influence of a borrowed heart.
