Henry Kendall is a scientist. Four years ago, Henry Kendall was working in the labs at the NIH. Henry was investigating the genetic basis of autism. Henry took a chimpanzee embryo and inserted his own DNA in to the animal's DNA. Henry had intended to harvest the embryo after the ninth week of pregnancy, assuming the fetus would not survive past this point, and autopsy it. However, an encephalitis outbreak caused the animals at the lab to be quarantined in labs across the United States and Henry lost track of the mother.
