It's not SF. That's your mistake, looking for a literal process to turn someone into a cockroach.
It's about loneliness & isolation & self-loathing.
It's also not a science book.

You cannot "deliver" an ectopic pregnancy. You got a necessary abortion, ending a pregnancy that could have killed you. A procedure you want to deny to others.

Oh great. The myth of the great genius solving all our problems hurtles on.
Science is a communal process, and should be egalitarian. Pumping more brain juice into a wealthy few will not produce more progress. Opening the doors to more diversity will.

It's your upbringing. The Islamic muezzin is making a call to prayer -- it's a plea, not aggression. Ringing bells and the adhan are pretty much equivalent.
I don't much care for either, but if you can enjoy church bells, recognize that others can enjoy the muezzin.
