In Loco Parentis

Ming is convinced that the baby biotech he has lovingly nurtured, little Debbie Dendreon, is now being actively pursued by two very eligible bachelors. Messrs Pfizer and Genentech are each quite a catch. Both have money up the proverbial wazoo and are capable of supporting the Debbster in a manner that poor Ming cannot provide. They could pay for her further education, provide social cachet and give her access to those very important people whose approval is necessary for her to make her way in the world. Since Debbie is only sweet sixteen, there are those who would consider these suitors as dirty old men who only want to enjoy her favors without providing for her best interests. Meanwhile she's still associating with unsavory FDA thugs that won't act in her best interests and could destroy her future. Perhaps if she waits until she turns eighteen, she will be in a position to make wise decisions armed with the knowledge that comes with having endured ever more difficult trials. Its really very hard being a parent.
