Rejuvenation

Rejuvination is the process where by an adult is turned into a preteen child, with the destination age being set to somewhere between three years old and twelve years old.

Definition
The primary use of Rejuvenation is to extend life or heal major injury, with the biggest downside to the technology being the reconstruction of the patient's body into that of a child. While these children have memories of being an adult they tend to have the judgement, emotional needs and reactions of a child their physical age and therefore require supervision of responsible parents.

The biggest non-medical success with Rejuve technology is with with whom corporal punishment and spanking have been found highly effective.

Judicial Rejuvenation
A criminal would be tried and convicted as usual, but instead of a prison term, he or she would be sentenced to one or more cycles of childhood. By cycles this as defined as a number of years of childhood, starting at one age and finishing at another, repeated for a given number of times. An example of this would be a sentence of 6 cycles of ages 5 to 9, making for a sentence of 30 years. While the creation of these sentences were still in essence based on years, the act of making the penitent (criminal) live out this sentence in their childhood meant three things.


 * 1) That it was easier to control and discipline the criminal.
 * 2) That the criminal could spend a portion of the time trying to better themselves through study
 * 3) That by the rejuve penny would be given a chance to break from the old life, the one that had led to crime and make a fresh start.
