##### Abstract
[an error occurred while processing this directive]

If a class of finitely generated groups $\mathsc{G}$ is closed under isometric amalgamations along free subgroups, then every $G\in \mathsc{G}$ can be quasi-isometrically embedded in a group $\stackrel{̂}{G}\in \mathsc{G}$ that has no proper subgroups of finite index.

Every compact, connected, non-positively curved space $X$ admits an isometric embedding into a compact, connected, non-positively curved space $\overline{X}$ such that $\overline{X}$ has no non-trivial finite-sheeted coverings.
