Choosing A Specimen - Outline

-Written by Sith Sarias

Taking each opportunity one can and putting it to use to further yourself lays in the foundation of what it means to be sith - but in doing so, forgetting to apply experience, observation and weighting risk sees many dead. When it comes to science and genetics work, that death can be found in stagnation if one fails to grasp such opportunities.
Considerations in your choice
A short list of questions to ask yourself before judging a subject’s worth

• Does it hold any particular traits which are unique, strong or otherwise of note?
  
• If yes, can any be used for current or planned work?
  
• How hard was it to obtain, what will maintenance require, if any? (an example, if the specimen is desired to be kept alive)?
  
• Does it have potential?
  
• Could it be used to obtain something of worth? (in exchange, negotiation and the likes).
  

Is the specimen of no use?
Discard it not right away, but make use of these considerations

• Why was it found to be of no use?
  
• What was it lacking?
  
• Was it studied in enough ways to give a sufficient dismissal?
  
• Even if the specimen was lacking, was anything learned in the process?
  
• How can you improve your search conditions in finding a better specimen for next time?
  

Even if one’s specimen ends up failing to meet expectations, there is experience and knowledge to be gained - information is power, but to fail in grasping this concept one will find their progress stagnate, and in turn find death in progression - even in matters of science and genetics.
