WEEKLY CLONING CHRONICLE
News of the
century!75 A.D.
N&N Corporation License rescinded;
Cloning restricted to
replacements,
not multiplications
In a sweeping move last week, the Nature and Nurture Corporation was
indicted on numerous counts of cruelty. With the passing of the Clone
Equality Law, clones can no longer be differentiated from non-clones.
This law has been a long
time coming; aside from the fact that they are created in labs, there
really is no difference between a clone and an original. Since brain-scans
are taken about once a week, there may be a couple of days' cognitive
difference between the clone and the original; but otherwise the two are
identical, and should not be treated otherwise.
The N&N Corporation used the cloning process (or
cee-process, as it's now
being called) to make multiple copies of an individual. Furthermore, they
used these multiple copies for their own nefarious purposes. This led to
many wealthy individuals creating clones of themselves or others to serve
as
slaves.
No more! Multiple cloning of a single person is now illegal. No more than
one incarnation of a single individual may exist at a given time.
The
cee-process is intended to extend the life-span, and not the
population.
When an individual dies, he shall be recloned using his
recent cell-sample (cell-samples will now be taken once a year) combined
with his most recent weekly brain scan, and thus brought back to life.
It may not be eternal life, but it sure represents a positive step in
the direction.
