In recent years, the use of body swapping technology has greatly innovated. Those who were seeking to have a different body could pay a premium for it. Sick became healthy, old became young. In Edward's case this was both. Edward was an 80 year old white man who was also ill and dying. He wanted to keep living so he made an illegal purchase from the underground body market. They would procure a fresh young body for him and he would pay a lot of money for it. Edward chose the body of a petite asian woman who wanted money to help support her family.
