Okay, so in this book I'm writing, there's a very disturbing moment later down the line. What happens is a (for lack of a better term) fucked-up scientist uses his creation's DNA to create a new creation, more powerful than the last. How he does this is very cruel. Long story short, he..."extracts" sperm cells from his creation to add to a genetically engineered egg cell. I'm sure the methods are quite obvious at this point. And the whole scene is told from the creation's POV.
Now, where I'm having trouble is how to write this scene...tastefully. I don't want to hold back in this book, since it has an overall dark and disturbing story, but I also don't want to cross a line that makes people just stop the book right there.
If anyone has any tips on how to make the scene disturbing without being offensive, please help me out. Tips about how to make the scene more disturbing are welcome too.
