DRC, Facility Operations Command, Compound Oversight Unit

Date: [REDACTED]

Subject: Surrogate Management Protocols

Location: Paternity Compound 131, [REDACTED], Oregon

Objective

This document provides a detailed overview of the surrogate processing workflow employed at Paternity Compound 131. It highlights the efficiency-focused methodologies implemented throughout the process, from intake to post-delivery. Personal letters from Surrogate ID S131-279-P are included, documenting his journey from arrival to delivery to help illustrate the overall operations.

I. Arrival & Intake

Transport

"Dear Dad,

I’m not sure where to start. They brought me here in this big, quiet van, and as soon as we got off, they started running all these tests. They gave me a number and tattooed it on my stomach like livestock. They keep saying I’m doing something important for the greater good, but I'm just confused." - S131-279

Candidates are transported to the facility in climate-controlled vehicles, ensuring they arrive in stable physical condition. They are processed in batches of [REDACTED] at a time for efficiency.

Initial Assessment

Upon arrival, surrogates undergo physical and psychological evaluations to assess readiness for the program. This includes fertility screening and compatibility testing for high-multiparity potential.

Registration

Each surrogate is tattooed with a unique ID number for tracking and monitoring throughout their conscription period, imprinted just above their navel.

Compound ID: The facility they will be housed in for gestation.

Arrival ID: The order number in which they arrived at the facility. 

Fetal Count: A letter to indicate the number of viable fetuses they carry:

A (1) - B (2) - C (3) - D (4) - E (5) - F (6) - G (7) - H (8) - I (9) - J (10) - K (11) - L (12) - M (13) - N (14) - O (15) - P (16) - Q (17) - R (18) - S (19) - T (20) - U (21) - V (22) - W (23) - X (24) - Y (25) - Z (26)  Example: Paternity Compound 127 + 437th Surrogate to Arrive + Carrying Quattuordecuplets (14) = S127-437-N

II. Rest & Preparation

Induction & Crowd Control

"Hey Dad,

Things are getting weirder by the day. Yesterday, they gave me a shot that burned like hell and made me feel woozy. It must have knocked me out cause I woke up, and it was tomorrow morning. I don’t know what happened, but I was so sore. I just want to go home." - S131-279, Arrival Weight 170 lbs

Entry areas are designed to funnel a group of surrogates into a single file line. Short but sweeping corridors are employed so that each candidate is prevented from seeing what lies ahead and concentrates on the individual in front of it.

Hygiene Protocols

Surrogates are directed to communal hygiene zones where they undergo full-body cleansing, enemas, and sterilization procedures.

Hormonal Optimization

Subjects are administered hormonal injections and supplements to ensure optimal uterine receptivity and increase the likelihood of successful embryo implantation.

Tranquilization (Optional)

Depending on the subject’s stress levels, mild to full sedation may be administered to maintain compliance and calm.

Note: [REDACTED]% of surrogates require some form of sedative before insemination.

III. Insemination Process

Surrogates can be assigned one of three insemination methods, depending on operational efficiency, donor availability, and strategic objectives:

"Dad,

I don’t even know who I am anymore. My body feels like it’s not mine. It’s only been a week since I arrived, and my stomach is growing so fast it scares me. I can’t stop eating, and it’s like my hunger gets worse the more I eat, but I can't stop. They keep telling me this is normal, that 16 is a "good number"?! They said it was a badge of honor. Sixteen! I feel like I’m being turned into something I don’t understand, and I can’t stop it." - S131-279-P, Day 6, Weight 192 lbs (+22 lbs)

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF):

Procedure: Embryos fertilized in a laboratory are implanted directly into the surrogate's uterus. 

Benefits: High precision, maximum control over embryo count, and genetic compatibility.

Usage: Preferred for surrogates assigned to carry high-volume fetuses or when multiple donors are involved.

Traditional Method (Sexual Intercourse):

Procedure: Selected donors engage in physical intercourse with surrogates under closely monitored conditions.

Benefits: Natural conception methods reduce laboratory overhead and offer efficient insemination for surrogates with high natural fertility markers.

Usage: Typically used donor compatibility is exceptionally high.

Fluids Infusion (Turkey Baster Method):

Procedure: Donor samples are introduced directly into the surrogate's reproductive tract using a sterile infusion device.

Benefits: Combines simplicity with minimal intervention—a cost and time-effective alternative to IVF and traditional methods.

Usage: Often employed in high-volume batches where rapid insemination is required or transportation to the nearest compound is infeasible.

Post-Procedure Monitoring: Surrogates remain in observation units for [REDACTED] hours to confirm successful implantation and address any immediate complications.

IV. Monitoring & Maintenance

Ward Assignment

"Dad,

I don’t think I can do this anymore. My belly is enormous—I can barely move, and I’m out of breath all the time. They keep saying I’m ‘thriving,’ but how can they call this thriving? I heard one of the staff joking about how I’m ‘one of the biggest ones yet.’ They think it’s funny. I don’t. I can feel them—16 of them—moving inside me, taking over everything I used to be. I’m not me anymore." - S131-279-P, Day 13, Weight 254 lbs (+84 lbs)

Surrogates are transferred to gestational wards, where they will reside for their pregnancies. These wards have medical monitoring stations, communal feeding areas, and resting zones.

Nutrition Protocols

Diets are adjusted to high-calorie "one-size-fits-all" solutions, such as nutrient-dense puddings designed to promote fetal growth while maintaining surrogate docility. Hormonal treatments are incorporated into meals to reduce the need for frequent medical interventions.

Weekly Checkups

Surrogates undergo routine ultrasound exams, weight measurements, and health assessments to ensure all embryos develop within target parameters.

Behavioral Observations

Any signs of distress or resistance are addressed promptly through psychological support or, if necessary, isolation protocols.

V. Delivery Process

"This will probably be my last letter. I don’t think I’ll make it much longer. My body’s breaking under the weight—literally. I'm too big, no one was ever meant to be this big. They’re moving me to the birthing wing tomorrow, and I know what that means. I’m terrified, but I don’t have a choice. I just want you to know I didn’t have a choice." - S131-279-P, Day 28, Weight 490 lbs (+320 lbs)

Pre-Labor Preparation

As surrogates approach full term (29-35 days), they are moved to birthing wings equipped with specialized delivery equipment and staff trained for high-multiparity births. Diets are radically adjusted to promote greater weight gain.

Labor Management & Delivery

Surrogates are monitored continuously, and medical staff is on hand to manage complications. Multiple babies are delivered in succession. This process may last several hours or more, depending on the number of fetuses.

Post-Delivery Processing:

Fetuses are immediately evaluated for health and viability.

Surrogates are provided palliative care as necessary.

VI. Post-Delivery Workflow

"Surrogate S131-279-P demonstrated remarkable endurance and successfully delivered 16 fetuses, average weight 14 lbs, in 30-45 minute intervals, after a 34-hour labor. The surrogate's abdomen showed extreme distension, with clear evidence of significant internal [REDACTED]. Full natural delivery was achieved, but the surrogate succumbed to irreversible [REDACTED] failure minutes after the final baby was delivered." - Dr. [REDACTED], Chief OBGYN, Paternity Compound 131

Vital Cessation Verification

Medical staff confirm the cessation of all vital signs immediately following delivery to ensure compliance with humane protocols. Time and cause of expiration are noted for record-keeping and research purposes.

Surrogate Decommissioning & Disposal

[REDACTED]

Note: As standard protocol, all personal items of Surrogate S131-279-P were recycled following his decommissioning, including the destruction of [REDACTED] paper letters addressed to a Mr. [REDACTED] Collazo.

Selfish

“All I know is I am very selfish. I want fulfillment in what I do. I want to know that this life given to me was meant for something.”

I wrote that line up there from a blog back on September 29, 2018. That was almost 5 years ago.

I am writing this blog, at 11 PM at night, everyone is asleep. I am currently back in Seattle, back in my parents’ house, you know, like old-times. Only now, I brought with me a wife and a son. Can’t get any more like old-times than that, right? Joking aside, fast forward to 2023 from 2018, I am now done with fellowship and subtly, but eagerly awaiting my next post with Doctors Without Borders. This evening, I downloaded about 50 pdf files from the WHO website on guidelines I should get caught up on. I am so excited and ready for another run with them because I know that this is where I can fully be the doctor that I always dreamed of myself being. I know, I’ve said it back in 2018, I am selfish. I’m married to the love of my life, I have a family that will support me in whatever I decide to do and now I have little baby Rio at my side and yet, I still have this… calling? Call me crazy, ha, colleagues around me have. Call me ungrateful, which is the exact opposite of how I feel. Call me selfish, which I have already labeled myself. I know that life would be a lot more simple if I decided to take a job here in Seattle, where my wife is now in fellowship, where my parents and sister is living and where my son can now settle and grow up. I know that there are so many people I can help out here as well; the United States, despite its economic and worldly success is still far-behind in actually taking good care of its people, especially those that are the most vulnerable. I could earn a decent salary, start saving for Rio’s college tuition and look forward to a life of reasonable comfort. But, I know that I’ve just been built with this sense of restlessness and dis-ease. I’ve written about this before. I feel like we all have been born with it. Some of us decide to live with that dis-ease and die before our own physical death. Others, at least I know with me, it has been fueling every move and decision in my life. I wrote this in another blog in September 7, 2017

“As for those desires and for the end goal, I have no clue of what it should look like. Whether it be to pursue life as a humanitarian doctor, as in Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) or to stay in America and pursue underserved work here, I have absolutely no idea.”

Reading that quote above today made me smile.

Fast forward to now, 2023, I am still going with flow. My five- year plan does not exist; in fact, I’ve always hated that question in interviews and essays. I still have no idea where these goals and ambitions will take me.

All I know is that the time is now. The time is ripe. I am so grateful to have a family that loves me, and has supported me in all the crazy-stupid things that I have told them I wanted to do. It really cannot get any better than this. Sometime this fall, I will be leaving out to the Democratic Republic of Congo as a “Flying” HIV/TB Specialist for Doctors Without Borders. This will be a lot different from my first project as I will be going around to the different encampments that MSF is involved with in the DRC. I know that I am more than capable to do this job and I just can’t hold my excitement. Plus, I have to start using my newly found French, oui, oui señor.

I’ve shared these quotes from famous people in my blogposts in the past below: “When it feels like my dreams are so far, Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over and over again” Switchfoot “Who says it easy to be loved. When you look over your shoulder and only see the wasteland. You just got to carry what you can. Have the heart of a giant, but know you’re a man” Roo Panes “My mind inclines now, more than ever, towards hope. I’m constantly shedding the assumption that a skeptical point of view is the most intellectually credible. Intellect does not function in opposition to mystery. Tolerance is not more pragmatic than love. And cynicism is not more reasonable than hope. Unlike almost any other worthwhile thing in life, cynicism is easy.” Krista Tippet

“I wanted to…feel hatred and love, despair and tedium– all those simple, yet foolish things that make up everyday life but that give pleasure to your existence. If one day I could get out of here, I would allow myself to be crazy, everyone is indeed crazy, but the craziest are the ones who don’t know they are crazy; they just keep repeating what others tell them to.”Paulo Coelho

“Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the graves with the song still in them”Henry David Thoreau

"I was not sure where I was going, and I could not see what I would do when I got to New York. But you saw clearer than I, and you opened the seas before my ship…And when I thought there was no God and no love and no mercy, you were leading me all the while into the midst of his love and His mercy, and taking me, without my knowing anything about it, to the house that would hide me in the secret of His face." Thomas Merton

“If you believe yourself worthy of the thing you fought so hard to get, then you become an instrument of God, you help the Soul of the World and you understand why you are here”- Paulo Coelho

--------------------------------------------------- These are just some of the examples of the quotes, the words and the voices that have been fueling me since I embarked on my journey into becoming the person that I am today. I’ve decided from the little that I started out with that I will always look at the brighter side; I will always believe in faith, hope and love and that I am more than what my doubt, frustrations and failings tell me I am. If there is one thing I could tell my 18-year-old self, starting off on this journey into medicine, leaving my parents’ home is to feel that dis-ease; feel it, think about it and wonder why it exists. Make it the reason why you get up in the morning and why you stay up at night. Understand that this yearning, this craving is what is making you more than a person, more than a human being, more than a life just taking up space on earth. Now, I am back full circle. I am back in my parents’ house, in their living room as if I have been here the whole time; with a little more hair on my head and on face, maybe now a grey hair or two as well. You know, as if nothing happened.

The Case That Set a Precedent

By Kayleigh Reaux​ Louisiana State University Class of 2024

June 26, 2023

International Law, a field somewhat deemed as irrelevant for anything other than reaching a course requirement. However, International Law is very important and woven into our everyday life. In the American Journal of International Law, or AJIL, a very profound case caught my eye. In the Democratic Republic of Congo v. Uganda case, we as a people are presented with an opportunity to delve into the world of International Law to gain insight into the world of international litigation, specifically between sovereign nations. After exploring the case, I feel I am now able to provide a brief review that will shed light onto the implications it holds for international law. In this article, I hope to provide a deeper understanding into the complex works involved in seeking not only adjudication, but arbitration, and advisory opinions within our international legal system. This article will be similar to a regular case brief and cover many of the same concepts; for example, the facts of the case, the issue within the case, the decision and reason of the case, the concurring and dissenting opinions (if available), and the case summary. The article shall be insightful and provide valuable information into the field of International Law. 

In the Democratic Republic of Congo v. Uganda case, the facts can be perceived as the Democratic Republic of Congo (or DRC), on June 23rd, 1999, filed an application in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to set court proceedings against Uganda for acts of armed aggression made by them in the DRC’s territory. These acts of aggression were a violation of a charter formed by the United Nations and a violation of a charter of the Organization of African Unity. This aggression was part of a Civil War in which Uganda was involved; their troops entered the DRC on July 28th in 1998. They were asked by the President of the DRC, Kabila, to retreat out of their territory, but they refused and therefore ignited the violation of not just the sovereignty and territory of the DRC and the human rights and international humanitarian law. The DRC asked for removal of these infiltrating troops, along with compensation for their suffering. The main and consistent question within this case was whether or not Uganda did violate human rights and the International Humanitarian Law, entitling the DRC to compensation.

The decision and reason of the case is up to the International Court of Justice. With all the facts in hand they faced many questions on how to proceed with a judgement. In them having jurisdiction, the court found that Uganda did in fact violate these laws in question, being the Human Rights Law and International Humanitarian Law. However, the Court did not rule in favor of the DRC regarding the violations of Uganda to them. The Court did however decide to grant reparations to the DRC on February 9, 2022. This court proceeding determined the level of compensation to be given to them under their previous 2005 judgement: coming after the initial and finding Uganda in fact in breach of these obligations to the DRC under Article 2(4) of the UN Charter and a violation of the principle of non-intervention. The compensation would be $225 million for damage to persons, $40 million for damage to property, and $60 million for damage related to natural resources. The outcome of this case is important in the court because it resulted in an elevated standard for claiming macroeconomic damages. This court gave way for acceptance of flexibility in this evaluation of damages. Hereafter, this judgement in 2022 finally concluded the legal dispute between the DRC and Uganda that was twenty-three years old. It can be known and evidenced that the Court’s decision rested heavily upon Article 31 of the Draft Articles on Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts or ARSIWA.

Furthermore, within the case of the Democratic Republic of Congo v. Uganda I found an exceptional understanding of International Law and gained insight into process of litigation. This twenty-three-year legal dispute was implemental in my opinion within the International Court of Justice. Even if our Court is constantly changing, to me the decision made in this case made some remarkable demonstrations within this Court. By effectively presenting the key elements within this case, I feel I have successfully gifted a deeper comprehension of adjudication, arbitration, or just the international legal system. I hope I have also proven International Law to be a key component in our everyday lives and justice system. There is an abundance of umbrellas under International Law that need to be explored to understand law as a whole. From learning more through the exploration of this case, and other International Law journals, I feel I have gained a substantial amount of knowledge and trust in International Law as a knowledgeable field of study. I have faith that this article has applied and presented all evidence of this and more.

Urgent Action Update: Two Years of Arbitrary Detention of 16 People (Mozambique)

17 January marks two years that fifteen asylum seekers and refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and one refugee from Ethiopia, have been arbitrarily detained in Pemba, northeast Mozambique, in appalling conditions. They must be immediately and unconditionally released.

The 16 people have been detained since their arrest on 17 January 2019 without an arrest warrant. Two years have passed since they have been arbitrarily deprived of family contact. They have not been informed of the reasons for their continued detention, nor of any administrative or criminal procedures against them. They have also never been brought before a court to legalize their detention. According to Article 308, §1°, N° 3, of the Criminal Procedural Code of Mozambique, a person cannot be held in pre-trial detention for more than 90 days after their arrest.

During these two years, the 16 detainees have been held in inhumane conditions. According to the detainees, their cell does not have a toilet, forcing them to dig several holes in the police station’s patio to use as a toilet. They drink yellow water from the cell’s sink, and they have not been provided with adequate food. They do not have mattresses and have to sleep on a sheet of paper on the floor. 

Their prolonged arbitrary detention in the current context of the global Covid-19 pandemic represents an additional and grave risk to the right to health of the 16 refugees and asylum seekers. The local authorities have not implemented any measures to avoid the spread of Covid-19 at the Third Police Station in Pemba.

On 12 March 2019, their lawyers filed a provisional release application, but the Pemba Provincial Court has yet to rule on the request.

Application Specific Integrated Circuits Chip Design Flow

Step 1: Prepare an Requirement Specification

Step 2: Create an Micro-Architecture Document.

Step 3: RTL Design & Development of IP's

Step 4: Functional verification all the IP's/Check whether the RTL is free from Linting Errors/Analyze whether the RTL is Synthesis friendly.

Step 4a: Perform Cycle-based verification(Functional) to verify the protocol behaviour of the RTL

Step 4b: Perform Property Checking , to verify the RTL implementation and the specification understanding is matching. Get More Information Hummer Miner

Step 5: Prepare the Design Constraints file (clock definitions(frequency/uncertainty/jitter),I/O delay definitions, Output pad load definition, Design False/Multicycle-paths) to perform Synthesis, usually called as an SDC synopsys_constraints, specific to synopsys synthesis Tool (design-compiler)

Step 6: To Perform Synthesis for the IP, the inputs to the tool are (library file(for which synthesis needs to be targeted for, which has the functional/timing information available for the standard-cell library and the wire-load models for the wires based on the fanout length of the connectivity), RTL files and the Design Constraint files, So that the Synthesis tool can perform the synthesis of the RTL files and map and optimize to meet the design-constraints requirements. After performing synthesis, as a part of the synthesis flow, need to build scan-chain connectivity based on the DFT(Design for Test) requirement, the synthesis tool (Test-compiler), builds the scan-chain.

7: Check whether the Design is meeting the requirements (Functional/Timing/Area/Power/DFT) after synthesis.

Step 7a: Perform the Netlist-level Power Analysis, to know whether the design is meeting the power targets.

Step 7b: Perform Gate-level Simulation with the Synthesized Netlist to check whether the design is meeting the functional requirements.

Step 7c: Perform Formal-verification between RTL vs Synthesized Netlist to confirm that the synthesis Tool has not altered the functionality.

Step 7d: Perform STA(Static Timing Analysis) with the SDF(Standard Delay Format) file and synthesized netlist file, to check whether the Design is meeting the timing-requirements.

Step 7e: Perform Scan-Tracing , in the DFT tool, to check whether the scan-chain is built based on the DFT requirement.

Step 8: Once the synthesis is performed the synthesized netlist file(VHDL/Verilog format) and the SDC (constraints file) is passed as input files to the Placement and Routing Tool to perform the back-end Actitivities.

Step 9: The next step is the Floor-planning, which means placing the IP's based on the connectivity,placing the memories, Create the Pad-ring, placing the Pads(Signal/power/transfer-cells(to switch voltage domains/Corner pads(proper accessibility for Package routing), meeting the SSN requirements(Simultaneous Switching Noise) that when the high-speed bus is switching that it doesn't create any noise related acitivities, creating an optimised floorplan, where the design meets the utilization targets of the chip.

Step 9a : Release the floor-planned information to the package team, to perform the package feasibility analysis for the pad-ring .

Step 9b: To the placement tool, rows are cut, blockages are created where the tool is prevented from placing the cells, then the physical placement of the cells is performed based on the timing/area requirements.The power-grid is built to meet the power-target's of the Chip .

Step 10: The next step is to perform the Routing., at first the Global routing and Detailed routing, meeting the DRC(Design Rule Check) requirement as per the fabrication requirement.

Step 11: After performing Routing then the routed Verilog netlist, standard-cells LEF/DEF file is taken to the Extraction tool (to extract the parasitics(RLC) values of the chip in the SPEF format(Standard parasitics Exchange Format), and the SPEF file is generated.

Step 12: Check whether the Design is meeting the requirements (Functional/Timing/Area/Power/DFT/DRC/LVS/ERC/ESD/SI/IR-Drop) after Placement and Routing step.

Step 12a: Perform the Routed Netlist-level Power Analysis, to know whether the design has met the power targets.

Step 12b: Perform Gate-level Simulation with the routed Netlist to check whether the design is meeting the functional requirement .

Step 12c: Perform Formal-verification between RTL vs routed Netlist to confirm that the place & route Tool has not altered the functionality.

Step 12d: Perform STA(Static Timing Analysis) with the SPEF file and routed netlist file, to check whether the Design is meeting the timing-requirements.

Step 12e: Perform Scan-Tracing , in the DFT tool, to check whether the scan-chain is built based on the DFT requirement, Peform the Fault-coverage with the DFT tool and Generate the ATPG test-vectors.

Step 12f: Convert the ATPG test-vector to a tester understandable format(WGL)

Step 12g: Perform DRC(Design Rule Check) verification called as Physical-verification, to confirm that the design is meeting the Fabrication requirements.

Step 12h: Perform LVS(layout vs Spice) check, a part of the verification which takes a routed netlist converts to spice (call it SPICE-R) and convert the Synthesized netlist(call it SPICE-S) and compare that the two are matching.

Step 12i : Perform the ERC(Electrical Rule Checking) check, to know that the design is meeting the ERC requirement.

Step 12j: Perform the ESD Check, so that the proper back-to-back diodes are placed and proper guarding is there in case if we have both analog and digital portions in our Chip. We have separate Power and Grounds for both Digital and Analog Portions, to reduce the Substrate-noise.

Step 12k: Perform separate STA(Static Timing Analysis) , to verify that the Signal-integrity of our Chip. To perform this to the STA tool, the routed netlist and SPEF file(parasitics including coupling capacitances values), are fed to the tool. This check is important as the signal-integrity effect can cause cross-talk delay and cross-talk noise effects, and hinder in the functionality/timing aspects of the design.

Step 12l: Perform IR Drop analysis, that the Power-grid is so robust enough to with-stand the static and dynamic power-drops with in the design and the IR-drop is with-in the target limits.

Step 13: Once the routed design is verified for the design constraints, then now the next step is chip-finishing activities (like metal-slotting, placing de-coupling caps).

Step 14: Now the Chip Design is ready to go to the Fabrication unit, release files which the fab can understand, GDS file.

Step 15: After the GDS file is released , perform the LAPO check so that the database released to the fab is correct.

Step 16: Perform the Package wire-bonding, which connects the chip to the Package.
