* The scientists can't safely get to the beach which is why the "trial groups" are observed at a distance. Within a day or so, all the bodies have decomposed and disintegrated, which is why there are items left at the back of the beach from earlier victims. But where are the other stuff earlier groups brought? Even if we were to assume that blankets and clothes decompose, that does NOT hold true for plastic food containers which are NOT biodegradable. Are we supposed to believe "trial 73" was the first group to bring one?

**** Speaking about the timeline... How are [[spoiler: the tests supposed to work if they can't study the inner effects on people's organs and stuff? The Scientists can't get to the beach, and organs disappear in less than a day. How can they tell if the medicine worked or was it what killed the patients? They have no control group, no way to measure the non-visible effects and no way of knowing if their test group develops OTHER illnesses in their time on the beach! The whole thing makes no sense at all.]]

** Even if it was noticed??? I’m pretty sure hundreds of people going missing in such a short period of time would be noticed. Even without bodies, I’m pretty sure that enough attention would be brought to the resort and that continuing the experiments wouldn’t be possible.

* How does the menstrual cycle work on the beach? It takes around a day for an egg to be fertilized, so the conception of Kara's baby couldn't have happened so quickly if the cycle works normally; however, if the cycle moves as quickly as the aging of the rest of the body, there would be constant cramping and vaginal bleeding.
