--------------------
Blicero is experimenting w/ transcendence--love involves sacrifice, sure, 
but sacrifice of oneself for another--blicero/gottfried relationship is not 
an equitable one--can a healthy love exist in such an environment?  My point 
is he sacrifices gottfried for a selfish reason--to garner more knowledge 
for himself, expanding views on breaking the cycle.  what kind of love is 
that?
