I think with a willing GM it could work... Shadowrun doesnt have to
have hard and fast rules if you are enjoying youself. Just make sure
everyone is enjoying it ;>

With detection, you may have a little problem.. but nothing the GM
cant ignore in the name of good story telling. Im only guessing, but
i'd think that maybe a mage could tell from the aura possibly.

Another good idea (referring to the post send before this one) is to
maybe have the fact that the corp knows.. but has been performing
experiments with or without the parents concent. Nothing major.. or
maybe it is.

Have fun!
