Boosting your own genes? Does this sound like Neolution or what?
This is a really big deal, one step closer to cloning humans. Alarmists will say the sky is falling, but it’s just a tool.

Frank Sweeny, MD, that master of the podcast, makes me look great in talk about human cloning, ending wth a shout-out to the greatness of Tatiana Maslany and ORPHAN BLACK.

ORPHAN BLACK is ending well: Let’s see Helena kick ass and Rachel redeem herself in the finale!
From my book and its idea for the final season: “A villain, such as Rachel, redeems herself by sacrificing herself to save another” (sestra),” p. 231. Going to happen.
Hmm, ORPHAN BLACK’s creators say P. T. Westmoreland is not totally bad, but he certainly bears resemblance to a certain well-known fallen angel.
Cosima: "You may own me but you can't take away my autonomy." See "Kant's Personhood and the Formation of a Clone's Identity" in What We Talk About When We Talk About Clone Club.

THE 6 WORST CLONE MOVIES:

Best Show Ever about Human Cloning: ORPHAN BLACK
Top 10 Myths about Human cloning that Orphan Black Explodes:
1. Clones have no free will.
2. Clones are identical
3. Clones have a hive mind.
4. Clones are property of their creators.
5. Clones could be hatched in labs and do not need to be gestated over 9 months by surrogate mothers.
6. Clones are not people.
7. Clones reproduce the memory and identity of the ancestor of their genes.
8. Clones are noticeably different from other humans: you can pick a clone out of a crowd of normal humans.
9. Clones are genetically-altered super-beings.
10. Clones are genetically sub-normal and thus can be used as slaves.
Prediction: Given previous hints in the show, you should read this classic to see what’s going to happen in Season 4 of ORPHAN BLACK. In both cases, we are on an island with arrogant scientists wanting to accelerate evolution and there are monstrous humanoids lurking about. Mistakes?
