1-year-old boy lay on a bare examination table in Soweto, South Africa\u2014looking precious and small, heartbreakingly beyond help. In the dimly lit room, two researchers did their work methodically and in silence, taking samples from the child\u2019s brain, lungs, and liver with a needle and swab, and then carefully packaging them to be sent for testing. Then the child\u2019s body was gently lifted into a postmortem pouch, to be sent for a proper burial.
