The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Herbert West: Reanimator by H. P. Lovecraft: was used to similar experiences, hence suffered on this occasion

Herbert
West, whose associate and assistant I was, possessed scientific
interests far beyond the usual routine of a village physician.
That was why, when establishing his practice in Bolton, he had
chosen an isolated house near the potter’s field. Briefly and
brutally stated, West’s sole absorbing interest was a secret study
of the phenomena of life and its cessation, leading toward the
reanimation of the dead through injections of an excitant solution.
