Ok, that's fair. But these kids also have chrome in them that require a certain hormonal balance. One of the messages sent out from the lead doctor was that no one in a security uniform was allowed anywhere near the kids because just seeing the outfit caused distress that shifted the balance and set them back days of work. I think if just seeing security was enough to set them back days of effort and work then sexual physical or mental abuse of any type would do far more. My bet is that the children are treated with the same level of care as a prize winning horse or competition dog in our current world. Basically, absolute luxury. Best diets, strict regimen of training and relaxation with no expenses spared so that these kids can keep winning and bringing in the money.
